Micro Apartments — an Asset Class Comes of Age

Jan-Bastian Knod • 22/08/2024

Micro apartments  Drivers, Trends and Opportunities on the German Market 

Germany has been experiencing a shift towards smaller forms of housing options for years. This is driven by demographic changes, including the immigration of younger people seeking education and employment as well as a more mobile workforce. Additionally, a growing proportion of older individuals living alone are increasingly seeking smaller flats.

The high demand for housing in the most sought-after cities is met with an extremely limited supply and an increasingly tight rental market. What opportunities does this present for the still-emerging asset class? How has the market for micro apartments developed and diversified? And what is the outlook for the coming years? Our latest report provides the answers and offers a current market overview.

Key Focus Areas of the Report:

  • Identification of the target groups for micro apartments
  • Micro apartments as an asset class and their diversification
  • Interviews and insights from recognised industry experts
  • An overview of the current situation in the rental and investment markets
