Frankfurt has experienced accumulated capital and rental growth rates of 110% and 50% respectively between 2009-2018. The housing market s upward trend appears set to continue, with Deutsche Bank estimating that the supply deficit of over 40,000 units will not close until far into the coming decade.

As more individuals and companies put down roots in the city, a further narrowing vacancy rate will likely put additional upward pressure on capital and rental growth rates until construction activity is able to catch up, which is not set to occur for nearly ten years.

WHY INVEST IN FRANKFURT

FRANKFURT Ranked the fifth best city for overall investment prospects in Europe for 2019 by PwC and the Urban Land Institute, Continental Europe s financial centre is a promising destination for real estate investment.

A truly international city, Frankfurt was also named as the world s tenth best city for quality of life by Mercer. Nearly half of the city s 744,100 residents have a migration background and Frankfurt expects to draw more people to the city, with forecasts predicting another 60,000 residents by 2030. With a flourishing economy primarily focused on the finance sector and an under-supplied housing market, Frankfurt is proving an attractive destination for both residents and investors.
