How we calculate

The basis is your layout, calculated as total lettable area (gif standard) including meeting rooms, kitchen, circulation and common areas: open plan 12 to 15 m², team offices 15 to 18 m², private offices approx. 20 m² per employee. These are our planning values from advising tenants in Hamburg, as of August 2026.

For open plan and team offices, home office lowers the number of desks through the desk-sharing ratio (1 home-office day: 0.9 · 2 days: 0.8 · 3+ days: 0.7); for private offices we count 1 desk per person. The growth buffer is added to the total.

The rent range of 18.00 to 28.00 €/m² net reflects district averages in Hamburg, not prime rents. The exact figure depends on the district (see Office space in Hamburg: prices by district).
