Lion’s Head acquires 15-Hectare plot in Popesti Leordeni

Lion’s Head, a real estate investment fund with assets in Romania and Bulgaria, has expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of a 15-hectare plot in Popești-Leordeni, a key logistics and industrial location near Bucharest. The transaction, facilitated by Cushman & Wakefield Echinox, marks Lion’s Head’s entry into the Romanian industrial market and its debut in real estate development.

The acquired site is located just a few kilometers from the Bucharest Ring Road, near the future A0 motorway, an area that has become a prime destination for logistics and industrial developments. Its modern road infrastructure and excellent connectivity to national and international routes make it one of the most attractive industrial hubs in Romania.

Andrei Brînzea, Business Development Land & Industrial at Cushman & Wakefield Echinox, emphasized the strategic importance of the acquisition, stating that Bucharest’s southern region is an emerging hotspot for logistics investments. He noted that the site’s proximity to the future A0 motorway and national road network strengthens its potential as a major industrial hub. The transaction also highlights the growing diversification of Romania’s logistics market, attracting both new and established players.

The Bucharest-Ilfov industrial and logistics sector continues to experience rapid growth, with total stock exceeding 2 million square meters by the end of 2024 and an occupancy rate of over 95%. The surge in domestic consumption and e-commerce expansion has fueled demand for modern logistics facilities, making the Romanian capital a key market for both international and local investors.
