Elena Denisova, Senior Director, Head of Offices CBRE in Russia said:
"Vacancy rate decrease due to low new delivery volume and stabilized demand both in Class A and B has become the key trend in H1 2017. Meanwhile the lack of new buildings is deteriorating the collapse gradually formed on the market in a 2-3 years perspective, that will seriously affect medium and large-scale business. Current demand is still limited, whilst companies’ activity follows the recovery trend if compared to the preceding year. This activity conversion into the transactions in H2 or its failure will determine potential rental rates growth."
