Compare the figures in context. Malta figures are asking-price medians across conventional offices in the OfficeSpace.Rent catalogue. The three EU cities use published prime benchmarks for top offices, with a different reporting date. This is a comparison with selected cities, not an EU average or a comparison of equivalent buildings.

How the comparison was calculated

The Malta sample contains 490 rental listings and 59 sale listings with positive asking prices and at least 50 m² of advertised space. Serviced offices are excluded. We calculate the unit price for each listing, then take the median. A Malta median is withheld if fewer than five listings qualify. Future availability may be included when the source lists the unit as available.

Annual rental rates use monthly rent × 12 ÷ floor area. Sale asking prices use total price ÷ floor area. The two standard-size examples apply each market’s published or calculated unit rate to 150 or 300 m². They exclude taxes, fees, fit-out, service charges and lease incentives.

Colonial SFL reports prime office rents and capital values for Barcelona, Madrid and Paris at year-end 2025. Madrid and Barcelona rents were converted from €43.75 and €31.50 per m² per month to annual rates. Prime capital values are investment benchmarks. Malta sale prices are advertised asks. Neither column gives a median of completed sale transactions.
