2013 starts off well : at €29.4 billion transacted, Q1 2013 European investment activity showed a 11% gain on Q1 2012 levels. Following a traditionally robust fourth quarter, the Q1 2013 total was well below last quarter’s €45.4 billion. Offices accounted for the largest share of investment activity at 44% of the total (€12.9 billion), but notable was the jump in industrial activity to 13% of transactions (€3.7 billion) well ahead of the long term average of around 8% for the sector.
