As Russia veers toward a recession, rental rates at warehouses in the Moscow region dropped to a five-year low in the first quarter of this year, real estate consultancy CBRE said in a report late last week.
The average price for warehouse space in the first quarter stood at 4,600 rubles ($83) per square meter, according to the report.
Rates may gradually begin to recover in the second half of the year, when the volume of new warehouse space entering the market goes into decline, the report said.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
