In 2024, Italy’s commercial real estate sector faced both challenges and opportunities, shaped by economic adjustments, sector-specific trends, and emerging investment dynamics. While GDP growth remained modest, a strong labor market and subdued inflation contributed to overall stability—further reinforced by relatively greater political steadiness compared to other European nations.
