A Changing Market

With a total surface area of almost 38,000 m², the office market is becoming more structured:
- 8,000 m² of new office space, mainly in Metz and Yutz.
- 51% of transactions were for surface areas of less than 150 m².
- 85% of m² placed in the Metz Eurometropole, with dynamic clusters such as the ZAC de l'Amphithéâtre and the Technopole/Mercy sector.

100,000 m² available by 2026
The Metz Eurometropole accounts for 90% of available space, with 20% of new supply. A further 30,000 m² is expected in the short term, confirming the region's growing attractiveness to companies looking for new opportunities.
Business premises and warehouses: dynamism and needs
83 transactions in 2024 for a total of 106,000 m².
- 68,000 m² leased, i.e. ¾ of transactions.

A tense market
With 290,000 m² of business premises and 55,000 m² of warehouses available, Moselle has a limited supply of new properties. 640,000 m² of warehouses and 20,000 m² of business premises are due to come on stream in the next 2 years. This situation reflects the strong demand for modern premises adapted to the new needs of companies.
Mobilized players
The event, co-organized by AGURAM and Eurométropole, with the support of Inspire Metz, the Moselle CCI and numerous real estate experts, and moderated by Guy Keckhut, provided an opportunity to exchange views with leading market players, including :
