The prime rent for high street retail space has risen by over 20% since 2020 and amounts to CHF 10,250 per sq.m. per year at the end of 2024. This puts rents on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse in third place in Europe after Paris and London.
Zurich leads the European purchasing power rankings. The high purchasing power supports the retail trade sector.
In recent years, various brands have upgraded their shops or moved into new locations. The strong demand keeps the vacancy rate on Bahnhofstrasse at 0%.
