The around 190,000 square meters delivered this year have strengthened a fast growth pace, which is however still strongly concentrated in just several counties.
Thus, Bucharest and another five counties, Timis, Iasi, Bihor, Arges and Cluj, account for half of the overall available area nationwide.
“The 5 million sqm threshold reached marks a major step in the maturity of Romania retail market, even as there is still room for growth,” stated Simina Niculita, Director/Partner/Retail Agency at Colliers.
For 2026, Colliers preliminary estimates point to deliveries of around 250,000 square meters.
