Ladies and Gentlemen,

In 2025, the real estate market in Duisburg continued to be influenced by a challenging macroeconomic environment: high construction and financing costs, cautious user decisions, and selective investment activity characterized developments across almost all asset classes. Nevertheless, Duisburg is positioning itself as a future-proof investment location and is particularly asserting its leading role in logistics.

For 2026 and the years beyond, it will be crucial to provide market-driven products with a sustainable cost and ESG perspective. Duisburg is well positioned to benefit above average from a gradual economic stabilization—especially in the many locations where space availability, quality, and flexibility of use come together.

Yours sincerely, Prof. Dr. Rasmus C. Beck & Michael Rüscher
