Slovakia and the rest of the Central and Eastern European region are facing a favorable investment period in the field of commercial real estate. The dynamics that the sector is experiencing are in contrast to the geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties that are affecting Western markets. While in Western Europe investors consider the risks associated with inflation, high interest rates and trade restrictions, the CEE region (Central and Eastern Europe) benefits from favorable structural factors, relatively low costs and a growing consumer base.
The volume of office leases in Bratislava increased by 36 percent year-on-year and total leasing activity reached 62,847 square meters. However, new office construction on the Bratislava market is stagnating, with three projects currently under construction.

The year 2024 was a challenging one for the Slovak real estate market, as the total volume of real estate investments reached EUR 484 million, which is a year-on-year decrease of 27 percent. The main reason was the tight monetary policy of the European Central Bank (ECB), which kept the base interest rate at a record high at the beginning of the year. This affected investment activity and caused several investors to reconsider their strategies. The change came only in June, when the ECB, after a long period of tightening monetary policy, proceeded to reduce interest rates for the first time.
"In the West", wealth management has been a common part of the financial world for decades. In our country, however, many people still think of "property management" only as buying real estate or term deposits. What does a modern approach to investment management actually look like and why do qualified investors deserve individual care?
