The modern stock of leasable industrial and logistics space in Bucharest has almost quadrupled over the past decade to more than 3.6 million square metres, according to data from Colliers. The Romanian capital now ranks 7th among the most dynamic markets in the European Union and 5th in terms of growth between 2015 and 2025.
Between 2015 and 2025, the modern stock in Bucharest and the surrounding area will grow from around 900,000 square metres to more than 3.6 million, with the potential to reach 4 million by the end of the year. During this period, only five major European regions – Szczecin, Gdansk, Kraków, Łódź, Stockholm and Gothenburg – will see faster growth.
Development has been particularly concentrated in the western and north-western areas of Bucharest, where most of the city’s logistics and industrial projects are located. In recent years, however, the southern and eastern parts of the capital have attracted increasing attention due to lower land costs and easier access to labour.
Nationally, the stock of modern industrial space grew significantly, from 1.6 million square metres in 2015 to more than 7.6 million square metres in 2025. Markets outside the capital have seen even faster growth, expanding from around 700,000 square metres a decade ago to almost 4 million today.
