The concept of coworking and serviced office spaces entered the Romanian market in 1998, when Belgian group Regus opened its first location in Bucharest. Since 2008 to 2018 the total surface occupied by coworking operators grew from a little over 2,500 sqm to over 60,000 sqm. The expansion was influenced by the development of the IT&C industry, the need for spaces where creative individuals can meet and collaborate and most importantly, by the new generations‘ inclination towards alternative professions, which no longer require a steady workspace and a traditional working schedule.
Bucharest is the largest market for such spaces, and the past two years have seen a booming growth of the segment. Currently, the surface occupied by coworking spaces and serviced offices in Bucharest stands at over 71,000 sqm, around 2% of the capital city’s total office stock.
