Market indicators for the first half of the year are out: Deskeo takes stock

State of the market

Despite the uncertainty of the market due to the turbulent economic and geopolitical context, Paris continues to attract companies. Take-up in the first half of 2022 was up 24%* compared to 2021 over the same period (1,008,400 sq. m), driven mainly by a need to modernise space to meet users' new expectations and by a need for centrality. The share of office transactions in the CBD increased by 41%**, a location where Deskeo has a strong presence.

Deskeo, performance at all levels

Since September 2021, Deskeo has been backed by Newmark Group, a leader in international real estate consulting and listed on Nasdaq. Being able to benefit from the support and experience of a major international group is a real sign of confidence in the innovative model implemented by Deskeo. Since the merger, Deskeo's ambition is to double its office portfolio to 150,000 sqm by 2024 and to develop new services for owners and companies who want to reinvent the employee experience to meet new post-covid expectations.

In an uncertain economic context, the Deskeo model based on a hybrid and flexible offer in 100% private spaces and premium buildings is all the more relevant for all the users (Tech, SMEs, international corporate groups) with whom we work on a daily basis.

Since January 2022, Deskeo has announced the signing of 8 new spaces located in the heart of Paris and in La Défense, with an average occupancy rate of 90% for its entire portfolio. With 75,000 sqm already in place, these signings add a further 10,000 sqm to reach 85,000 sqm of office space in operation by the end of the first half of 2022, including 5,000 sqm dedicated to meeting and event space.

Deskeo has reached a turning point in its real estate development by strategically choosing to take on leases of larger surfaces of +1,000 m2.

It should be noted that between 1,000-5,000 sqm, the share of coworking and flex-office operators in the wider CBD is 25%** in the first half of 2022.

"We are actively pursuing our development thanks to the renewed confidence of our landlords and the creation of new partnerships which have enabled us to sign 79 rue de Clichy (Paris 9, 4,309 sqm) among others." Lydia Haouzi, Director of Real Estate Development at Deskeo

Deskeo invents the office of the future

The office of the future is now to be considered as a real social hub around which employees gravitate and where they go to live a real experience. It is becoming a catalyst ecosystem for productivity, collective performance and creativity. Between telecommuting and flex-office, the challenge for companies is to rethink the office to encourage a work/life balance, bring back conviviality and create social links.
