Demand for industrial and logistics space in Romania increased by 11% year-on-year in the first half of 2026, reaching 569,000 sqm, according to a report by real estate consultancy Cushman & Wakefield Echinox. Leasing activity accelerated particularly in the second quarter, when around 329,000 sqm was transacted.
New demand accounted for 58% of the total volume in the first half, while developers have also begun resuming speculative projects after several years in which new developments were generally launched only after securing significant pre-leasing.
