In 2025, the Île-de-France office market remained characterized by sluggish leasing activity, while supply increased sharply, particularly in Paris. However, the highest-quality assets—those able to respond to changing workplace uses and environmental challenges—continue to stand out. Newmark reviews the past year and identifies the key trends to watch in 2026.
In this new edition of “Desk & The City,” Newmark also explores the historical relationship between the Seine and the office market and analyzes the value-enhancement potential linked to the rediscovery of the river. Long perceived as secondary, riverside locations are becoming a strategic lever of differentiation for the Greater Paris office real estate market. Quality of views and living environment, development of recreational uses, contribution to climate adaptation: when the river is fully integrated into its urban surroundings, it can become a major factor of attractiveness for office buildings located along its banks.
