One third (72,800 sqm) of the logistic space deals were carried out by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) in the first nine months, the company said.
Retail and e-commerce companies rented 80,000 sqm (almost one third of the total spaces rented in the first nine months), followed by auto parts producers – 63,000 sqm, and logistic companies – 44,200 sqm.
Bucharest accounted for transactions totaling 65,600 sqm and Timisoara – 41,200 sqm.
Nevertheless, the number of small towns in which companies rented logistic and industrial spaces has significantly increased.
While Bucharest, Timisoara, Deva, and Arad were on top last year, in 2015, companies also chose Brasov (16,000 sqm), Cluj (26,600 sqm), Pitesti (14,000 mp), Ploiesti (28,900 mp), Ramnicu Valcea (12,800 sqm), Targu Mures (3,500 sqm) and Sibiu (11,500 sqm).
JLL estimates there will be around 300,000 rented spaces in the entire 2015, similar with last year.
