Romania Retail Regional Cities 2025

The modern retail stock outside Bucharest reached 3.39 million sq. m. Approximately 54% of the stock consists of shopping centres, while retail parks and commercial galleries have shares of 41% and 5% respectively.

The YTD 2025 new supply reached a level of 162,000 sq. m GLA (including the Mall Moldova 125,000 sq. m super-regional shopping center in Iasi), as this year is due to become one of the best in terms of new deliveries, as the 200,000 sq. m annual threshold is due to be broken once again.

Moreover, the short-to-long term pipeline is highly consistent outside Bucharest, as developers have projects exceeding 610,000 sq. m GLA under construction or in different permitting stages, projects which are scheduled for completion by the end of the decade (including 2 super-regional schemes in Cluj-Napoca, each due to benefit from more than 100,000 sq. m GLA of prime retail spaces).
