This figure, while showing growth, remains lower than the levels seen between 2019 and 2022, when over 3.5 million m² were approved annually. These figures are from the DRIEAT publication "Agréments immobilier d’entreprise, le bilan 2025" (Business Real Estate Approvals, 2025 Report), released in October 2026.
The year 2025 was marked by a difficult economic and financial context, amplifying vacancy in the tertiary sector. This trend appears to be lasting, reflecting a shift in corporate expectations: increased remote work, reduced office space needs, demand for premises adapted to new uses, better environmental performance, and locations in highly attractive districts.
The business real estate sector's momentum has been impacted, with the volume of approvals providing real-time insight into evolving intentions ahead of building permits. Demand for tertiary office space remained contained, with investment shifts towards sectors perceived as more promising.
