Industrial property prices fell 1.5% in Q4 from the preceding quarter, resulting in a full year fall of 1.7%. In the preceding year, the prices rose 3.5% in 2014. Vacancy rate islandwide rose 0.2% to hit 9.4% in Q4. This is the highest in 3 years. About 2.9 million sqm of industrial space will be ready this year, to be added another 1.6 million sqm next year.
