European Office Sector in Focus

In the latest episode of Morningstar DBRS’ “European Securitisation Insights” podcast, Mudasar Chaudhry, who leads our European Structured Finance Research team, was joined by Dinesh Thapar, Vice President, European Commercial Real Estate Ratings, to discuss key trends affecting the European office sector.

Our analysts discussed how the definition of so-called "prime" office space is evolving and how, as interest rates come down, overall European commercial real estate investments seem to be turning a corner. They also examined whether, in light of this, the office sector is moving in line with the broader market or some of the issues more entrenched.

To wrap it up, they highlighted the impact the aforementioned trends had on Morningstar DBRS-rated commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) transactions with large office exposure and also provided our 2025 outlook for the European office sector.
