Recent developments have delivered 67,500 sqm of new space, and another 300,000 sqm are expected by the end of the year, in a balanced pipeline that responds to the consistent demand coming from logistics, production and warehousing. “The solid demand, spread across all regions of the country, and the interest of investors in Romania reconfirm our position as a strategic regional logistics hub,” points out Răzvan Iorgu, Managing Director & Head of Industrial & Logistics, CBRE Romania. As for the retail sector, it continues to perform above expectations. The modern stock has grown to 4.51 million sqm, with deliveries of new retail parks, and by the end of 2025, another 188,000 sqm of commercial spaces are forecast. “The Romanian retail market stands out not only for its robust pipeline, but also for the dynamism of local and international brands that are expanding their footprint, strengthening the attractiveness for investors,” adds Carmen Ravon, Head of Retail CEE, CBRE Romania.
