The Bucharest office market saw last year a shift in hierarchy regarding the sectors generating the most transactions, according to a study by Crosspoint Real Estate. Companies in the banking and financial sector accounted for 25% of the gross leasing volume in Bucharest, surpassing the IT sector (23%) for the first time.
This trend aligns Romania with the European level, where the financial industry was the primary driver of demand in 2025. Last year, the gross leasing volume reached 245,000 sqm, a 30% decrease compared to 2024.
Regarding the profile of companies that chose Crosspoint's services in 2025, data shows a concentration in the IT, industrial and construction sectors. "In 2025, companies entering the Romanian market for the first time played a role in Crosspoint's activity, generating nearly half of the total office space volume brokered by our team, particularly from industries such as IT and construction. At the same time, the IT sector remains relevant in our portfolio, even as it undergoes an adjustment phase characterised by more prudent and well-calibrated decisions," stated Simona Urse, Associate Director Office Agency, Crosspoint Real Estate.
Last year, Crosspoint Real Estate consolidated its position in the office leasing segment by brokering transactions totalling 11,500 sqm throughout 2025.
