Key takeaways
- The median asking rent for available office space in Berlin is €21/m² (middle half: €14.50–27/m²).
- In prime locations (Mitte, Potsdamer Platz, City West, Hauptbahnhof), the median is €26.50/m², compared with €20/m² in the other inner-city locations and €16/m² in districts outside postcodes 10xxx.
- Supply is broad: 874 office units are available or will become available soon. The median unit is approximately 420 m², and just under one fifth exceed 1,000 m².
- Active office searches are small: the median desired size is approximately 250 m², with four of seven searches seeking no more than 250 m².
Data basis
The analysis is based on the office spaces and search profiles held in the neospaces database in October 2026: 874 available or soon-available office units in Berlin, including 719 with rent information, and 7 active office search profiles with Berlin in their name. The rent analysis therefore rests on a broad base, while the demand analysis rests on a narrow one. These are asking rents (net cold rent per m² per month), not agreed rents. Individual properties and companies are not named.
Rents: a decline from the centre outwards
| Location | Median asking rent | Units with rent information |
|---|---|---|
| Prime locations (Mitte, Potsdamer Platz, City West, Hauptbahnhof) | €26.50/m² | 119 |
| Other inner-city locations (postcodes 10xxx excluding prime locations) | €20/m² | 367 |
| Other districts (postcodes 12xxx–14xxx) | €16/m² | 233 |
| Berlin overall | €21/m² | 719 |
The median gap between prime locations and outer districts is just over €10/m². Asking rents range from just under €6/m² for basic space in peripheral locations to €60/m² for small, prestigious units in City West. Even prime locations include offers below €20/m², while individual new-build spaces in outer districts reach €38/m². Location alone therefore does not explain the price; building age, fit-out and layout also matter.
Small units up to 250 m² have a median asking rent of €17.50/m², while large units over 1,000 m² are offered at €25.50/m². One possible reason is that many small spaces are in commercial courtyards and existing buildings outside the centre, while larger spaces are more often in new buildings and development projects.
Supply: substantial space, including large units
The median available unit is approximately 420 m². 30% of available units are no larger than 250 m², 57% no larger than 500 m² and 82% no larger than 1,000 m². 80 units (9%) exceed 2,000 m²; these include entire office buildings and contiguous floor packages, usually offered with subdivision options. 135 of the 874 units are still occupied and will become available in the coming months.
Demand: small spaces, mixed users
The seven active office searches connected to Berlin mainly seek small to medium-sized spaces: average desired sizes range between 165 and 500 m², with one search at approximately 2,000 m². Four of seven searches seek no more than 250 m², and two seek between 250 and 500 m². Where a maximum rent is stated, it is €30 to €35/m².
The searches come from outpatient care (operating bases and administrative space), healthcare and telemedicine, education (a language school) and the energy sector. The largest search is from an investor seeking existing properties for conversion or densification, so it is not a conventional rental search. Given the small number, these figures are a snapshot, not a representative picture of Berlin office demand.
Implications
- For tenants: Supply is substantial and rents vary by location. Those not requiring a prime location can find space around €20/m² in the other inner-city areas and around €16/m² in outer districts. Choice is particularly broad for small spaces up to 250 m².
- For owners of small and medium-sized spaces: Active searches predominantly seek less than 500 m². Alongside conventional office occupiers, care, healthcare and education providers using offices as operating bases or practices are worth considering.
- For owners of large spaces: Just under one fifth of supply exceeds 1,000 m², while active searches at this size are rare. Subdivision into units of 250 to 500 m² significantly increases the number of suitable prospects.
Methodology
The analysis covers all Berlin office units in the neospaces database with available or future-available status as of 17 October 2026 (874 units, all with floor-area information). Rents = net cold asking rent per m² per month where stated (719 units; prime locations: 119, other inner-city locations: 367, other districts: 233). Prime locations = postcodes 10117, 10178, 10785, 10719, 10789, 10557; other inner-city locations = other postcodes 10xxx; other districts = postcodes 12xxx–14xxx. Individual records aggregate entire buildings or floor packages and are included with their total area. Demand = active office search profiles with Berlin in their name (7 profiles); desired size = the mean of minimum and maximum floor area. The analysis is updated quarterly.
