Office
Zurich’s office market remains highly polarised. Modern, well-connected space is scarce in central locations, where availability stands at just 2.4%. Prime rents reach CHF 950/m²/year, while conditions are softer in peripheral submarkets.
On the investment side, Zurich remains Switzerland’s most liquid office market. Demand for core and prime assets is strong, with the prime gross yield at around 2.0%. A limited development pipeline of 78,000 m² between 2026 and 2028 is expected to keep supply constrained.
Retail
Zurich’s retail market continues to command high rental levels, particularly in its strongest locations. Prime rents on Bahnhofstrasse reach up to CHF 10,500/m²/year, supported by footfall of up to 63,000 pedestrians per day.
Investment activity remains extremely limited. No major retail transaction was recorded in H1 2026, despite continued buyer interest in established high-footfall locations. With very few assets coming to market, the prime gross yield is estimated at 1.9%.
