South

A sub-market with a smaller volume of modern space than the north and west of Bucharest. Infrastructure development and the regeneration of some urban areas can support the area's attractiveness in the medium term.

Office space in Bucharest's South submarket totals 41,800 sqm, with asking rents of €10–12.5/sqm/month. (Source: Crosspoint Research, Romanian Real Estate Market H1 2026)

About the area

The area, at a glance

Southern Bucharest offers office space around the main boulevards and commercial poles, with an attractive price-to-area ratio. The area serves operations- and service-oriented companies, with good access to the ring road and to the districts where the workforce lives. The stock is gradually modernising.

History

The area formed on the former Timpuri Noi industrial platform, founded in 1864 on the bank of the Dâmbovița and turned, after 1948, into one of the communist regime's largest factories, with over 2,700 employees. In the 1980s, the Ceaușescu regime demolished the old neighbourhood of houses around it and put up apartment blocks for the platform's workers.

Production stopped in 2010, the year Vastint bought the former factory's 5.1 hectares. Phase 1 of Timpuri Noi Square was completed between 2017 and 2019: three Class A office buildings, 52,100 sqm GLA, 920 parking spaces and 3,700 sqm of retail space. The first two buildings received LEED Platinum certification in 2018, the third in 2020, and Vastint is now preparing Phase 2 and a mixed office-hotel project on the Dâmbovița platform.

Amenities and access

Timpuri Noi Square includes 3,700 sqm of ground-floor retail space and a green area laid out on the former industrial land. Next to it, the Sun Plaza mall, opened in 2010 at 391 Calea Văcărești, brings together 150 shops on 81,000 sqm GLA, with direct access from the metro through an underground passage. Nearby is the university campus on the former “Circul Foamei” site, with three universities: Titu Maiorescu, Nicolae Titulescu and Dimitrie Cantemir.
