Price and yield moves on the Romanian property market will be influenced in the near future by both the availability and the cost of capital, while the overall volume of deals is likely to fall this year after reaching a 15-year high during 2022, suggest Colliers’ consultants. 

Despite many negative factors, Q4 2022 showed that the economy in Slovakia should grow by 1.8% in 2022. Energy prices were stabilized, inflation peaked and we could see the increase in yields. The Slovak industrial sector remained once more the most resilient real estate segment and experienced very solid performance in 2022. In the same period, the lack of new supply resulted in lowered vacancies in offices. Overall retail park projects dominate both this year’s new supply and future retail development with limited space for larger retail schemes due to high saturation. Cushman & Wakefield published its market reports for Q4 2022.

The volume of industrial and logistics projects slated for delivery in Romania this year will reach at least 510,000 sqm, compared with 875,000 sqm in 2022, according to data from JLL Romania. 

The upward trend in prime rents continues across European industrial and logistics projects due to steady demand for space, according to Garbe Research. The average rental growth for the main markets stood at €0.40 per sqm. 

Developer Garbe Industrial Real Estate CEE has completed the construction of the first building of its industrial park in Piešťany, Slovakia.

Romanian e-commerce player eMAG has secured a financing of around €70 million from Alpha Bank for the development of a logistics hub near Budapest. 

Serbia’s emergence as a manufacturing base with a skilled cost-effective labour force in close proximity to neighbouring EU markets is driving a surge in leasings and built-to-suit developments across CTP’s four industrial and logistics parks in the country.

CTP is completing the construction of a new building at CTPark Prague North. The hall, with the working name D8.7B, will offer 32,000 sqm of facilities upon completion. The second hall, D8.7A, will be completed in August 2023. CTPark Prague North is located close to the capital city and also in close proximity to the D8 motorway. CTP will thus offer new space in a highly lucrative area, which has long been experiencing an overwhelming demand for modern and sustainable business space.

The Czech industrial real estate market in 2022 was again remarkably successful. It reached the highest annual new supply in the history of the market on the back of record-low vacancy and all-time high prime rents, JLL reports.
