More than 60% of the transactions recorded in 2025 were new lease agreements, supported by the team’s reorganization and improved coverage of Bucharest’s main business hubs.
“Even in a year full of uncertainties, our team managed to turn challenges into opportunities. The high share of new leases reflects both companies’ confidence in the Romanian market and our determination to support their expansion,” explained Mădălina Marinescu, Head of Office Agency.
Financial services take the lead
According to Crosspoint’s analysis, 2025 brought a change in hierarchy among tenant sectors. Financial and banking companies accounted for 25% of Bucharest’s gross leasing volume, overtaking IT for the first time, which held a 23% share. This evolution aligns Romania with broader European trends, where financial services drove office demand in 2025.
IT remains the leader in net leasing, with 36,000 sqm, representing 28% of the total net take-up of 130,000 sqm, up 17% year-on-year. Gross leasing volume, including renegotiations, reached 245,000 sqm, down 30% compared to 2024.
“The IT sector is going through a challenging period, driven by AI adoption and workforce adjustments following the hiring boom of 2020–2022. In 2025, these effects became visible on the local market as well,” noted Ilinca Timofte, Head of Research.
In terms of office hubs, the Centre-West area remained the most sought-after location, accounting for 29% of total leasing activity, followed by Calea Floreasca–Barbu Văcărescu with 18%. CBD and Dimitrie Pompeiu each generated 15% of transactions, while the central area reached 13%.
