In the spotlight this week:
RCA figures reveal the pandemic’s impact on European real estate in Q3 with falls in volume, even in Germany. Portugal appeared to have bucked the trend, but did it really?

This appears to be further underlined by UK department store operator John Lewis’s application to convert upper floors at its Oxford Street flagship to offices.
Meanwhile, major deals by the likes of Carlyle, P3 and Prologis confirm the continued appetite for logistics investments and Meyer Bergman’s rebranding and renaming confirms its further diversification away from pure retail. The new mix includes last-mile logistics.
