Investment into the commercial real estate (CRE) market totalled nearly €56 billion in the second quarter of 2015, up 15% on Q2 2014, according to the latest figures from global real estate advisor CBRE. Although the rate of year-on-year growth in investment activity has slowed slightly compared with Q1, it is still the highest Q2 total since 2007. Commercial real estate investment in Central and Eastern Europe slowed in H1 2015 due to a lack of available prime stock and the impact of rent contraction in Warsaw’s office market, the region’s most liquid market.

According to the RICS Commercial Property Monitor for Q1 2015 most countries in Central and Eastern Europe can expect relatively strong economic growth and the expectations for commercial property markets are also broadly positive. The Occupier Sentiment Index has finally registered a positive value in all four examined countries. The Investment Sentiment Index is firmly in positive territory for both the Czech Republic and Hungary, but is also not in negative territory in Bulgaria and Romania.
