INDUSTRIAL MARKET IN ROMANIA Q1/2026

The Romanian industrial and logistics sector maintained a constant development trajectory in the first quarter of 2026, despite a more cautious occupier outlook shaped by persistent geopolitical tensions, elevated financing costs, and continued beneficial and political uncertainty. Market fundamentals remained healthy, with total modern industrial stock surpassing the 8 million sqm threshold nationwide, further highlighting the market's ongoing consolidation and Romania's expanding role within regional distribution and manufacturing networks. Approximately 115,000 sqm of new space was delivered during Q1, while close to 500,000 sqm remained under construction, supporting expectations for continued expansion throughout the year.

One of the most notable developments during this period was GARBE's entry into the Romanian market through a new logistics park in northern Bucharest. The project further reflects growing institutional interest in Romania's logistics sector and reinforces Bucharest's attractiveness as the country's dominant distribution hub.
