# Market in Minutes, Q3 2026

Report · Period: Q3 · Year: 2026 · Author: Ilinca Timofte · pages: 11 · 2026-11-05

*Nine months in, Romania’s commercial real estate market is moving at two speeds. Cross-border capital kept investment on an upward path, while occupiers grew more selective across office and industrial. In residential, prices held their ground through a third quarter disrupted by the ANCPI cyberattack.*

The Romanian commercial real estate market moved at two speeds in the first nine months of 2026, with investment accelerating while leasing activity slowed. Total investment reached €654M, up 48% year-on-year, with retail accounting for 61% of volumes. Prime yields remained stable at 7.5% for office and retail assets and 7.5%–7.75% for industrial properties.

Office gross take-up fell 14% year-on-year to 140,388 sqm, while net take-up rose 6% to 93,639 sqm, with Floreasca-Barbu Văcărescu the most sought-after submarket.

The industrial sector showed solid fundamentals despite a 40% decline in leasing activity, with vacancy at 6% and stable prime rents of €4.75/sqm.

The residential market saw transactions in Bucharest and Ilfov fall 14.3% following the cyberattack on ANCPI, though activity recovered in September. New units in Bucharest averaged €2,650/sqm in September 2026, up 22% year-on-year but stable compared to the previous quarter.
