Spain Commercial Real Estate Market Trends and Insights

Post-pandemic re-shoring driving logistics demand

Supply-chain vulnerabilities exposed in 2020 pushed manufacturers to relocate production closer to European consumers, raising the logistics share of Spain commercial real estate market investment from 15% in 2014 to 34% in 2024. Central Spain registered a 25% jump in annual take-up, helped by CBRE Investment Management's purchase of a 90,000 sqm complex in Pinto for last-mile delivery. Secondary hubs now attract 37% of total warehouse absorption, signalling cost-conscious occupiers' shift away from prime zones. Investment volumes could hit USD 1.9 billion in 2025, nearly doubling the country's 2019 share of European logistics allocations.

Tourism recovery lifting urban hospitality assets

Tourism generated USD 198 billion in 2023, supporting hotel real estate. Total hotel investment hit USD 4.7 billion in 2023, highlighted by Atom Hoteles' USD 121 million Tenerife exit, 83% above its 2019 purchase price. Mixed-use schemes combining rooms, retail and co-working are benefitting from the shift to experiential travel.

Rising construction costs from Iberian labour shortage

Construction permits fell 9% in 2024 as developers absorbed higher wages and volatile material prices, widening the gap between 1.53 million housing starts and 2.40 million household formations recorded since 2008. With 26% of residential stock stalled, contractors prioritise pre-leased assets to manage risk.
