    [04] Commercial rents fall, report

    (ANA-MPA) -- Commercial rent prices fell by 10 pct on average in 2009, while the percentage of available commercial space in the centre of Athens jumped to 16.8 pct in the second half of 2009, up from 15.1 pct in 2008, with the commercial real estate market suffering significantly (ANA-MPA) from a decline in the retail business as a result of an economic recession, a survey by Hellastat announced on Tuesday.

    The survey said average rent prices in manufacturing and logistic spaces fell but at a smaller rate, reflecting limited supply of high-quality spaces and relocation difficulties in the market. The (ANA-MPA) return of the market ranged from 8.5 pct to 9.0 pct in 2009, Hellastat stated.
