Romania Retail Figures Q4 2025

Romania’s modern retail stock reached approximately 4.78 million sq m by the end of Q4 2025, following the delivery of several mid-sized schemes during the final quarter of the year. 

 

Total deliveries for 2025 amounted to approximately 187,000 sq m, marking a 10% increase compared to 2024, despite a more challenging macroeconomic environment characterized by fiscal tightening and elevated inflation. 

Rental levels remained stable towards the end of 2025, following modest upward adjustments earlier in the year. Leasing activity continued across both dominant shopping centres and well-performing retail parks.

Retail continued to be the preferred investment sector in Romania, accounting for approximately 30% of total investment volume in Q4 2025 and remaining a central theme for the full year. Investor interest was focused primarily on income-generating retail parks and dominant convenience-led schemes, reflecting the defensive characteristics of the sector amid macroeconomic uncertainty. 

 

Romania’s retail market demonstrated resilience in 2025. Stable rents, continued development activity, and sustained investor and occupier interest position the sector to remain a key pillar of the commercial real estate market heading into 2026.
