Nevertheless, the long-term outlook is associated with numerous uncertainties. Here, buzzwords such as digital transformation, customer and product innovations as well as property technology dominate the discourse.

Future Trends
Awareness of sustainable issues is having a strong impact on the real estate sector in Germany, as evidenced by the increase in green buildings. In 2021, 26% of individual transactions were certified in buildings developed and operated according to sustainability standards. Institutions such as DGNB, LEED or BREEAM issue the most important certificates, and investments in green commercial real estate have risen sharply in recent years. The trend towards green real estate and advances in digital transformation and product innovation are expected to continue.
