Legal Overview

​

The Romanian Real Estate market has developed continuously, being considered a solid market within the East Europe. As per the data published by CBRE Romania, the volume of real estate investments exceeded EUR 1 billion in 2019, reaching about EUR 1,06 billion after a 7% annual advance compared to 2018. Although the first major office projects initially started in the north area of Bucharest, the investors have now begun to also consider other areas (Grozavesti, Timpuri Noi, Tineretului) or even other cities (such as Cluj, Timisoara). As per the JLL report, over 1 million sqm of new projects (both office and logistics) are planned to be delivered in 2020, mainly in Bucharest.
