Romania Investment Marketbeat H2 2025

The real estate investment market recorded a total volume of €514 million worth of transactions across 2025, corresponding to a decrease of 31% when compared with 2024 and marking the 2nd lowest annual aggregate since 2013. Retail had the highest share (39%), followed by Office (30%) and Hotel units (11%), with Mixed – Use and Industrial properties accounting for the other 20%. Moreover, there were only 3 transactions exceeding €50 million, namely M Core’s acquisition of 7 strip malls from MAS RE – Prime Kapital, Skanska’s disposal of the Equilibrium 1 office building and Alfa Group’s purchase of several office & industrial units within the IRIDE platform in Bucharest. The premises for 2026 are more optimistic, as a series of portfolio deals are currently under negotiation and could bring the investment volume relatively close to the €1 billion threshold.
