OVERVIEW | LEIPZIG’S INVESTMENT CASE
It’s Germany’s fastest growing city.
Leipzig’s economy is forecast to expand to EUR37 billion (+75%) by 2035, having already doubled in size since 2000.
Leipzig has refocused its economy on five key business clusters in promising industries. These clusters have experienced the highest levels of employment growth since 2005 and form a robust platform for the diverse economy to innovate and grow sustainably.
House prices in Leipzig have increased by 55% over the last five years (2020).
With a mere 13,510 apartments completed in the decade up to 2017, the vacancy rate has tumbled from as high as 12% in 2011 to as low as 2% today. As a result, property prices have experienced double-digit capital appreciation rates over the last five years. Buying investment properties in Leipzig is still, however, twice as affordable when compared to Berlin and many other well-established cities in Germany.
