Close to 50% of the warehousing surfaces for which lease contracts were signed in 2022 were transacted during July – September of this year, according to real estate consultancy Dunwell Industrial Brokerage. 

ELBI, the supplier of low power equipment, has leased 15,000 sqm in P3 Bucharest A1 and will start operating the warehouse in November 2022 following an investment of €3 million.

Property developer Speedwell says it secured the building permit for its first industrial project located in north-western Bucharest. The development of the first warehouse under the Spaceplus brand will start in the next period and should be completed by the second quarter of 2022. It will have a total leasable area of 10,000 sqm. Leasable storage space ranges from 400 to 600 sqm. 

Over 650,000 sqm of logistics and industrial space were rented last year in Romania, almost 40% more than in 2019, a Dunwell analysis shows.

Dunwell brokered a transaction for TeraPlast for 5,000 sqm (1,500 sqm of warehouse space and 3,500 sqm of outer platform) in Mega Distribution Center’s park in Chiajna. The relocation from the northern area into this new space aims at increasing the efficiency of the company’s distribution activities.

Dunwell Industrial Brokerage has assisted MLP Group in opening a new, 2,500 sqm location in Bucharest for one of the largest banana importers and distributors in Europe, Citronex.

Up to 750,000 sqm of modern logistics and industrial space could be delivered this year in Romania, which could push the local stock of industrial spaces to over 4 million sqm, according to Dunwell, a real estate consultancy firm that specializes on the industrial segment.

Dunwel has brokered a 20,000 sqm transaction between Ursus Breweries and WDP in Buzău, Eastern Romania.
