Bucharest combines rising rents across its main commercial property sectors with some of the highest prime investment yields in Europe, according to Cushman & Wakefield’s DNA of Real Estate Europe Q2 2026 report. The Romanian capital remains competitive within Central and Eastern Europe due to relatively low occupancy costs, improving market fundamentals, and returns above those available in Western European markets.
Prime office rents in Bucharest reached EUR 22 per sqm per month in the second quarter, up 4.8% year-on-year. Yields remained stable at 7.25%, compared with a European average of 5.39%.
