Luxembourg’s office market back on track after pandemic slump

After a period of uncertainty in the immediate aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Luxembourg office market appears to be regaining momentum. Figures from the sector point to a clear recovery, both in terms of new construction projects and company demand. However, it is not only the volume of office space that has changed – the way offices are used, and what companies expect from them, has also evolved.

In the years following the pandemic, the market experienced a sharp slowdown. Hybrid working models, economic and political uncertainty, and cautious investment strategies led many companies to postpone decisions on leasing or buying new office space. A few years on, the picture looks very different.
