Headline Hamburg rent is 408 EUR/sqft/yr ($444 USD). Translate your incumbent occupancy cost-per-seat to the same basis using the Occupancy Cost tool. Most cross-border moves underestimate fit-out">fit-out timeline and overestimate density transferability.
German double-net structure: tenant pays Nebenkosten (operating costs) and property tax pass-through. 5-10 year terms standard with renewal options. Rent-free periods of 4-8 months on a 10-year term plus EUR 200-400/sqm TI. Use the Lease Term Translator to map terminology before reading the LOI.
Engage a tenant-rep broker, local counsel, an MEP/AV designer with Hamburg project history, and a project manager who has run a Class A fit-out in this market in the last 24 months.
