Colliers: Retail deliveries in Romania slow in 2026, next year promises recovery

Romania’s modern retail market added approximately 80,000 square meters of new retail space in the first half of 2026, compared with around 122,000 square meters in the same period last year, taking the total stock to more than 5.2 million square meters, according to Colliers’ report on the performance of the real estate market during the first six months of the year.

The decline was mainly due to the absence of very large projects, as the extension of Mall Moldova accounted for almost 50% of the total volume delivered in the first half of last year.
