Among them there are the efficient structure of the floor plan which has been easily adapted to the organisational chart, the abundant natural lighting, the generous outdoor terrace, and the possibility of parking places which was sufficient for the employees. Of course, it mainly mattered the fact that the offices are in a modern A class building, recently put into use, with a higher visibility, yet located in the same prime area in CBD as their former premises “, said Nicolae Ciobanu, Managing Partner- Head of Advisory, at Fortim Trusted Advisors, member of the BNP Paribas Real Estate Alliance, which has mediated the transaction.

“Last year, three new buildings appeared on the office market in the Central Business District (CBD) area, reaching a total of 41,700 sqm, which led to an increase of the existing space stock by 10.7% related to CBD area, or 1% related to the la total stock of modern office space in Bucharest. However, the take-up was quite a good one, considering the present terms of the office space market, affected by the sanitary crisis. Therefore, early this year there is available office space of approximately 10% of the CBD total, below the average level of 13.3% from the total vacancy in Bucharest “, added Nicolae Ciobanu.
In 2021, 24 companies, among which Olx, God Mother, Estee Lauder, Concrete&Design Solutions, Peli Partners, Google, Cevalogistics and Sweat, signed lease, pre-lease or extension contracts for space areas of 176 sqm to 5,400 sqm within the Central Business District.
The bulk of vacant spaces are currently located in the areas of Pipera -Voluntari (17.3%), Center-East (18.6%) and North (19.2%). The vacancy rate in the CBD and central area remained low during the pandemic, below the average in Bucharest (13.3%).
