CEE Retail Marketbeat Q2 2026
Within a broader European context, occupier conditions across CEE-6 capitals remain predominantly landlord-favourable, with Prague, Warsaw, Bratislava, and Sofia all characterized by demand outstripping supply for prime best-in-class space and stable-to-strengthening rental conditions. Bucharest sits in more neutral territory, with prime supply and demand broadly in balance, while Budapest stands out as the region’s sole tenant-favourable market, reflecting comparatively greater availability of prime stock relative to occupier demand. This is broadly consistent with the wider European trend, where landlord-favourable conditions remain the norm across most tracked markets, even as a growing share shift toward neutral.
