Leipzig has got lots of essential statuses that define its economic, cultural and scientific nature. The rapid growth of the population and the creation of the new jobs raised the demand for the new office spaces in Leipzig. It would be right to mention that since the period of reunification, the city hasn't faced an office construction boom. That's why the already existing surplus became dense. Nowadays Leipzig comprises 2,7 million sq.m. of office space. The vacancy rates fell sharply within the latest period of time and now stay around 9,6%. Still, it is the highest percentage among the locations under business consideration. That's why the prices for prime rents don't become higher. It costs around EUR13,2 per sq.m. to rent an office in Leipzig in its prominent locations. The peripheric areas offer cost-effective offices for EUR6 per sq.m. The relatively calm situation with rental costs is going to be preserved in Leipzig in the nearest future. The number of office workers continuously increases in Leipzig, nowadays comprising more than 100 thousand people.
