Cushman & Wakefield Echinox has been appointed as the exclusive advisor for the sale of a 37-hectare land plot from the former Electroputere industrial platform in central-eastern Craiova. The property presents development potential for residential, retail, logistics, or light industrial projects.


The original Electroputere platform spanned approximately 60 hectares. Over 20 hectares have already undergone urban regeneration, transforming the area into a multifunctional project featuring a shopping centre, office buildings, and a recently completed aparthotel. 

Ștefan Oprea, Consultant Land Agency at Cushman & Wakefield Echinox, said: "Electroputere Craiova represents an opportunity to revitalise an iconic area of the city into an urban hub that addresses the needs of both the community and investors. Given its strategic location, size, and infrastructure, the site is positioned to become a flagship project for the entire region."

The site's strategic location near major tourist attractions makes it suitable for mixed-use projects that meet both residential demand and tourist needs.

Former industrial platforms have attracted strong interest from real estate investors in major Romanian cities. Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, and Iași have witnessed sales of similar assets, with land plots often exceeding 20-30 hectares and transaction values reaching tens of millions of euros, depending on location, infrastructure, and development potential.
