## Headline rent vs. effective rent

Asking rents in Stuttgart are quoted in EUR per sqft per year.

## Rent-free and TI

Standard Stuttgart concessions on a 5-year Class A lease run to 6 months of base-rent abatement. Trophy lease-ups can push rent-free 25–40% above that benchmark. Local cost-of-occupancy is also shaped by tax — German federal corporate tax of 15% plus solidarity plus Stuttgart trade tax at ~16.5% multiplier — combined effective rate near 30%. 19% VAT.
