A conversation with Anca Călimăneanu (Senior Sales Manager) and Andrei Bejan (Deputy Business Development Director), Veolia România, following the first BREC × Veolia event

Veolia talks about “integrated” water and energy solutions. For a developer, what does “integrated” actually mean – and why should it matter?

Andrei Bejan: It means we stop treating water, heating, cooling and power as separate line items handled by separate suppliers and start designing them as one system from the earliest project phase. A developer who does this doesn’t just save on installation — they gain a single operational logic that stays efficient for the entire life of the building. When you plan the energy and water strategy together, the whole becomes far more than the sum of its parts: one solution’s waste can become another’s resource. That’s the essence of the circular thinking we bring to real estate.

This has been a year in which energy became the single biggest cost surprise for CEOs worldwide. What is the first thing a developer should rethink in a new project?

Anca Călimăneanu: Predictability. The instinct is to look at the upfront investment, but the real risk today sits in the next 20 or 30 years of operation, exposed to volatile energy prices. The most common mistake we see is postponing the energy decision until late in the design, when the cheapest and most effective options — like geothermal fields — are no longer feasible. Decoupling from price volatility is a decision you make on the drawing board, not after handover.

Let’s talk results. Which projects best show what these solutions deliver in practice?

Andrei Bejan: The One United Properties developments are a strong example. Across One Lake Club and One Lake District, we reach 80% of energy from renewable sources, cut costs by at least 30%, and reduce emissions by nearly 3,900 tonnes of CO₂ every year — largely by recovering heat from wastewater. At One High District, one of Romania’s most ambitious heat-pump projects, 310 geothermal probes drilled to 120 metres deliver over 6,600 MWh of renewable energy annually, under a single 30-year contract covering energy, water and facility management.

Anca Călimăneanu: And One Peninsula was a genuine first for Romania — the first residential project to use large-capacity ground-source heat pumps for simultaneous heating, cooling and hot water, cutting energy costs by up to 50% versus conventional gas-and-chiller systems.

GeoExchange is central to your offer. What makes it so adaptable across project types?

Anca Călimăneanu: GeoExchange uses the stable temperature of the ground to provide heating, cooling and domestic hot water at once. That flexibility is exactly why it fits so many contexts — residential, retail, logistics, or the mixed-use developments so common in Romania. In a mixed scheme, one building may need cooling while another needs heating, and the system simply moves that energy between them instead of wasting it. Crucially, it works not only for new builds but for existing buildings too — which matters for developers holding older assets.

Beyond geothermal, where else is there value most people overlook?

Andrei Bejan: Heat recovery is the quiet champion. Our Apa Nova Vitan building is the first project in Romania to recover energy directly from the sewage system, combined with photovoltaics — bringing costs up to 90% below classic district heating. On the power side, pairing photovoltaics with battery storage (BESS) is reshaping the economics: with negative energy prices in certain hours and shifting grid tariffs, storage lets you use your own clean energy when it’s most valuable rather than selling it back for nothing. We’ve already deployed over 400 MWp of solar and some of Romania’s largest battery systems, including a 14 MWh installation at Cetate, Dolj.

The closing question – five years from now, which of these solutions moves from “competitive differentiator” to “minimum requirement”?

Andrei Bejan: Most of them. Regulation, banks and tenants are converging on the same expectation. An energy-efficient asset already commands a premium and easier access to green financing; soon, the absence of these features will be a discount — or a deal-breaker. The developers who treat resource efficiency as core strategy today are simply building the assets that will still be financeable and leasable tomorrow.

How Mindspace Is Shaping Romania’s Flexible Office Market
How Mindspace Is Shaping Romania’s Flexible Office Market 1200 600 BUCHAREST REAL ESTATE CLUB

18.05.2026

Andreea Birladeanu, General Manager Romania, Mindspace

Mindspace operates two hubs in different areas of the capital. How do the two locations differ, and what type of tenants have you attracted?

Mindspace’s two Bucharest locations reflect two different business dynamics within the city.

Mindspace Victoriei location, in the central Bucharest, attracts a diverse mix of international companies, professional services firms, tech teams and scale-ups seeking strong accessibility and a premium central presence. The atmosphere is energetic and business-oriented, with many companies using the space as a hub for hybrid teams and client-facing operations.

Mindspace Business District, located in one of Bucharest’s key modern office areas, appeals more strongly to established corporations, regional headquarters, and fast-growing technology companies. Tenants there tend to prioritize scalability, premium amenities, and access to modern infrastructure while still maintaining flexibility.

What’s particularly interesting in Romania is how diverse the tenant mix has become. Flexible workspaces are no longer used only by startups or freelancers. Enterprise companies, outsourcing firms, creative industries, and international businesses are increasingly using flexible office solutions as part of their long-term workplace strategy.

Can we still talk about co-working as a solution for freelancers and start-ups?

That’s where coworking started, but the Romanian market has evolved significantly.

In the early years, coworking spaces mainly served freelancers, entrepreneurs and small startups that needed affordable and flexible office solutions. Today, the market has matured. Flexible workspace has become an important solution for medium-sized businesses, international companies entering Romania and enterprise teams adapting to hybrid work.

In Bucharest especially, companies are increasingly focused on employee experience, talent retention, and flexibility. The office is no longer viewed simply as a fixed operational cost. It’s part of company culture and employer branding.

Romania’s growing tech ecosystem has also accelerated this shift. Many companies want spaces that support collaboration, creativity, and community rather than traditional static offices.

So coworking today is less about company size and more about agility and experience.

Economic and technological instability makes 10-year planning difficult for companies. Under these conditions, is flexibility becoming the “new security” for tenants?

Absolutely. In today’s environment, flexibility is increasingly seen as a form of security.

Many companies are cautious about committing to long-term leases because workforce needs, economic conditions, and technology are changing so rapidly. This is especially relevant in Romania, where businesses are balancing growth opportunities with global uncertainty.

Flexible workspaces allow companies to scale more efficiently, adapt to hybrid work models, and reduce long-term real estate risk. Instead of locking themselves into rigid structures, businesses want the ability to evolve and adapt quickly.

We’re also seeing that flexibility supports talent strategy. Employees now expect more adaptable work environments, and companies need workplace solutions that help attract and retain skilled professionals.

In many ways, agility has become more valuable than permanence.

How does Mindspace use data and artificial intelligence to optimize workspace utilization? Do you have any insights into how workplace design is changing to accommodate teams that collaborate intensively with AI tools?

Data and AI are becoming increasingly important in understanding how people use workspaces and how offices can operate more efficiently.

By analyzing occupancy trends, meeting room usage, attendance patterns and member behavior – Operators can optimize layouts, improve operational efficiency, and create more responsive environments.

AI also helps improve forecasting, energy management and personalized workplace experiences. As hybrid work becomes standard, these insights are essential for adapting spaces to real usage patterns rather than assumptions.

In terms of design, offices are evolving significantly because AI is changing how teams work. Routine individual tasks are increasingly supported by AI tools, which means the office is becoming more focused on collaboration, innovation, and interpersonal interaction.

We’re seeing demand for:

  • More collaboration zones and social spaces
  • Flexible meeting rooms with advanced hybrid capabilities
  • Quiet rooms for focused AI-assisted work
  • Better acoustics and adaptable layouts
  • Hospitality-inspired environments that encourage employees to spend meaningful time in the office

In Romania’s competitive talent market, workplace quality has become an important differentiator.

As co-working evolves into broader business ecosystems, how are operators responding in terms of the services they provide?

The role of coworking operators has expanded considerably.

Today, companies expect much more than office infrastructure. They’re looking for environments that support networking, employee wellbeing, productivity, and company culture.

Operators are responding by building full business ecosystems around the workspace experience. That includes hospitality services, curated events, wellness initiatives, networking opportunities, flexible memberships, and community-driven programming.

In Bucharest, this is particularly relevant because many businesses value opportunities for collaboration and international connectivity. Flexible workspaces can create communities where startups, scale-ups, corporates, and creatives interact organically.

We’re also seeing increased demand for:

  • Enterprise hybrid-work solutions
  • Event and meeting spaces
  • Plug-and-play offices
  • Wellness and lifestyle services
  • Community and networking programs
  • Technology-enabled workplace experiences

The overall direction is clear: coworking is evolving from a real estate product into an experience and service platform that helps companies support both business performance and employee satisfaction.

Investment Market: Signs of Recovery After a Challenging 2025

Following a 31% decline in liquidity in 2025 compared to 2024, Romania’s real estate investment market is showing the first clear signs of recovery. Last year’s slowdown largely reflected the postponement of several large-scale transactions into 2026, with the office sector leading total volumes at 40%, followed by retail at 36%. Against this backdrop, 2026 projections are optimistic: with multiple major transactions currently in advanced stages of negotiation, total investment volumes could reach approximately €900 million. Prime yields and rents remained broadly stable in Q1 2026, providing a degree of predictability for the period ahead.

Office Take-Up: Demand Softens, but the Market Rebalances

Both Bucharest and regional cities recorded declines in gross take-up in 2025 — down 23% and 27% respectively compared to 2024. The picture, however, is nuanced. In the capital, a lack of new supply kept lease renewals as the dominant transaction type, while higher-vacancy regional markets such as Timișoara saw more expansions and relocations. Prime rents remained stable across most markets, with Bucharest continuing to be the most complex, showing significant variation between assets and submarkets. Vacancy rates at national level continue to decline, signalling a gradual absorption of existing stock.

Regional Cities: Cluj and Brașov Lead the Development Pipeline

At regional level, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Iași and Brașov all recorded year-on-year decreases in vacancy, with typical Class A rents ranging between €12.5 and €17 per sqm per month. While Bucharest has evolved beyond its IT-driven roots, regional cities such as Cluj and Iași remain heavily reliant on the technology sector as the primary demand catalyst. On the supply side, regional developers are proceeding cautiously, with Cluj and Brașov concentrating the majority of completions expected over the next three years.

Hybrid Working Models Are Reshaping Space Requirements

One of the most compelling sections of the iO Partners report examines the five dominant working models currently in play — ranging from Office Centric, with up to 75% maximum presence, to fully Remote, with four to five days worked from home. Companies recording office presence below 30–45% are already exploring flexible space solutions, a trend that is accelerating the adoption of flex and coworking formats. Hybrid models imply lower sharing ratios and a growing emphasis on social over individual workspaces — a shift with direct implications for how offices are configured and sized.

Flex Office: Steady Growth, Decentralisation Underway

Bucharest’s flex office stock surpassed 74,000 sqm by the end of 2025, accounting for over 2% of the total modern office stock — a meaningful threshold. Nationally, Romania now counts over 100 coworking locations, with the highest concentration in Bucharest, Brașov, Iași, Cluj and Timișoara. The emerging trend is one of decentralisation: satellite offices, regional hubs and flexible work environments that combine the benefits of remote work with professional office infrastructure. This evolution simultaneously addresses employee needs — reduced commuting, improved work-life balance — and corporate priorities, as businesses look to avoid long-term lease commitments and the high operational costs of a single central headquarters.

18.03.2026

Fulga Dinu, Country Manager, CPI Property Group Romania

What are your company’s business targets and plans for 2026?

Our main priority generally is to continually increase the relevance and resilience of our portfolio.

For the retail segment, we will continue upgrading our properties in line with the ever evolving consumer behavior, the growing demand for diversified services, and the need to enhance the shopping experience. We also focus on refreshing the tenant mix in order to drive higher footfall and strengthen the long-term competitiveness of our shopping centers.

For the office segment, we are expanding our ESG-driven measures while continuing to diversify the space usage by integrating private healthcare operators alongside traditional corporate tenants. Relevant examples include Nord Hospital at myhive IRIDE | eighteen, Băneasa Tumor Hospital, recently launched by Leventer Group at myhive Victoria Park, and Regina Maria at Băneasa Airport Tower. Today, more than 10% of our office portfolio is dedicated to medical services through long-term partnerships, some exceeding 20 years.

WWhat were the main business results for 2025?

In 2025, CPI Romania delivered very strong results, particularly in the leasing activity.

Within our local office portfolio, we secured a total of 55,000 sqm of leased space. Demand remained stable, following the trend of recent years, with lease renewals exceeding new take-up. Importantly, we recorded long-term renewals, often accompanied by space expansions, as well as renewed interest and new market entries from international companies: clear signs of continued confidence in the Romanian office market despite a challenging macroeconomic environment.

In retail, our 250,000 sqm portfolio continued to strengthen following the refurbishments, the reconfigurations, and the entry of major international brands into our portfolio. Notable milestones include the opening of the first Primark in VIVO! Cluj-Napoca, the ongoing refurbishment process of Sun Plaza, which includes the reopening of Pull&Bear and Zara stores, and the announced 7.000 sqm Auchan hypermarket and a fashion hub on an area of 16.000 sqm. We also completed a remodeling and extension process of Peek & Cloppenburg in Constanța, now operating a modern 2,500 sqm format.

Overall, 2025 was a dynamic year, marked by solid leasing performance, long-term tenant commitments, and continued investment in upgrading and strengthening our retail destinations.

What do you see as the main risks for the Romanian real estate market in 2026?

One of the main risks for the Romanian real estate market in 2026 remains the lack of predictability, which continues to affect the overall business environment. Romania is a market that requires constant attention, rapid adaptability, resilience, and firm decision-making. In this context, flexibility and a deep understanding of local dynamics are essential to successfully navigate 2026.

Where do you see the most attractive opportunities for growth in 2026?

In the office segment, limited new supply and high development costs are expected to create a favorable context for landlords. In retail, although consumption may remain under pressure, due to the recently adopted financial measures, dominant schemes with strong catchment areas are likely to remain stable and continue attracting both tenants and customers.

Ioana Țălnariu, Voelkel Real Estate Romania

What were the main business results for 2025?

For VÖLKEL Real Estate Group, 2025 was a strong growth year for VÖLKEL Real Estate Group. We secured several high-profile management mandates for landmark mixed-use properties in prime German city-center locations, including the Kaufmannshaus in Hamburg, the former stilwerk building in Düsseldorf, and the Gäubodenpark in Straubing. These projects further strengthened our position as a specialist for complex, mixed-use commercial assets with development potential.

For VÖLKEL Real Estate Romania, 2025 marked our market entry phase. We launched the first tenders for Center Management, Property Management, and Accounting services and began negotiations for our initial mandates. In parallel, we started a strategic AI collaboration to increase operational efficiency and scalability from the outset.

What are the company’s business targets and plans for 2026?

Our key objective for 2026 is to expand our footprint in the Romanian market and establish VÖLKEL as a trusted provider of professional Center Management, Property Management, and Accounting services. We will focus on retail, logistics, shopping centers, and office assets.
Strategically, we will continue integrating AI-driven tools into daily operations to improve efficiency, remain price-competitive, and reduce operational risk.

WWhat economic pressures or regulatory and fiscal changes do you anticipate impacting the market in 2026, and how is your company preparing for them?

Across both Germany and Romania, we expect continued pressure from interest rates, inflation-driven operating costs, workforce shortages, and increasing ESG and reporting requirements.
In Romania specifically, ongoing regulatory alignment with EU standards and potential fiscal adjustments will shape the market. We are preparing through digitalization, standardized processes, and flexible operating models, allowing us to respond quickly while maintaining service quality.

What do you see as the main risks for the Romanian real estate market in 2026? Where do you see the most attractive opportunities for growth?

The main risks are macroeconomic volatility, rising costs, and inconsistent management standards across the market.
At the same time, the biggest opportunity lies in the growing demand for professional, transparent, and technology-driven real estate management, particularly in retail parks, logistics, and well-located office properties.

Which players or strategies are going to be winners in 2026?

The winners will be agile players who adapt quickly to economic change, invest in digitalization and AI, and deliver integrated, high-quality management services. Companies that combine local market knowledge with international best practices and a strong focus on efficiency will clearly outperform.

Alexandros Diamantis, Managing Director, Medcity

What were the main business results for 2025?

2025 marked an important milestone for our company through the successful completion of the Timisoara project, which added a new facility to the MEDCITY network and expanded our footprint in one of Romania’s strongest regional healthcare markets.

This new location strengthens our national presence and reinforces our positioning as the only developer in South-Eastern Europe dedicated exclusively to medical infrastructure.

What are the company’s business targets and plans for 2026?

n 2026, our focus will be twofold.

First, we aim to consolidate the performance of our existing medical portfolio and continue expanding our healthcare real estate platform.

Second, we are actively exploring and analyzing entry into the office segment, assessing how our expertise in compliance-driven, high-specification developments could translate into adjacent asset classes. This represents a strategic diversification opportunity, while maintaining our core strengths in quality, safety and long-term tenant partnerships.

WWhat economic pressures or regulatory and fiscal changes do you anticipate impacting the market in 2026, and how is your company preparing for them?

We expect inflationary pressures to gradually ease compared to previous years. However, the fiscal measures and increased taxation introduced last year may continue to weigh on consumption and investment appetite across the economy.

That said, our business model has proven resilient in such environments. Healthcare real estate benefits from structural, non-cyclical demand, as medical services remain essential regardless of broader economic fluctuations.

We prepare by:

  • maintaining conservative financial planning,
  • securing long-term leases,
  • focusing on operational efficiency, and
  • prioritizing locations and tenants with stable fundamentals.

This disciplined approach allows us to mitigate volatility and protect occupancy levels.

What do you see as the main risks for the Romanian real estate market in 2026? Where do you see the most attractive opportunities for growth?

The main risks we foresee include:

  • slower residential development due to affordability constraints and higher prices,
  • workforce reductions in certain sectors, particularly IT, which could reduce office space demand,
  • and overall caution from investors in a still-uncertain macroeconomic climate.

However, opportunities remain strong in specialized and needs-based segments.

We see continued growth potential in:

  • healthcare real estate,
  • and custom-built, compliance-ready spaces where demand is driven by long-term demographic trends rather than short-term cycles.

These sectors offer more stability and predictable occupancy compared to traditional real estate classes.

Which players or strategies are going to be winners in 2026?

The winners will likely be developers and investors who:

  • focus on specialized, resilient asset classes rather than generic supply,
  • prioritize long-term tenant partnerships over speculative development,
  • maintain financial discipline,
  • and deliver high-quality, compliant spaces tailored to operators’ operational needs.

In our view, real estate strategies built around essential services — such as healthcare — will continue to outperform, as they combine social relevance with strong, defensive fundamentals.

2026 Trends with Lucian Grosaru, Sema Real Estate

24.02.2026

Lucian Grosaru, CEO, Sema Real Estate

What were the main business results for 2025?

2025 was a breakthrough year. We launched Sema Home, our first residential development, and the market response has been exceptional.

Pre-sales opened in mid-October. By now, buyers have already reserved more than a third of the 301 apartments. That speed confirms strong market demand.

What we are seeing is validation of our core thesis: buyers increasingly prioritize location, transit access, and integrated amenities over standalone residential buildings. The Sema Parc Masterplan was designed around this insight, and the sales performance demonstrates that buyers value this approach.

The broader trend is clear. Mixed-use developments with functional infrastructure are gaining market share at the expense of isolated apartment towers.

What are the company’s business targets and plans for 2026?

On the residential side, we aim to maintain momentum with Sema Home by completing the first phase and preparing subsequent stages for launch. The demand is there.

Beyond that, we have two priorities. First, strengthen our office and mixed-use portfolio where we see value creation opportunities. Second, advancing the next phases of development within Sema Parc. Our strategy is to build out the full masterplan rather than pursuing scattered sites. This allows us to create genuine neighborhood value and benefit from the infrastructure and community we are establishing.

Across all activities, energy efficiency and operational performance remain central. Market expectations have shifted. Buildings that underperform on energy costs will face competitive pressure within five years.

WWhat economic pressures or regulatory and fiscal changes do you anticipate impacting the market in 2026, and how is your company preparing for them?

2026 will be challenging. Inflation persists, labor costs continue rising, and construction material prices remain volatile. Recent VAT changes and new compliance requirements added further cost pressure.

On the regulatory side, tighter market discipline rules raise standards but also increase procedural and financial complexity. This is beneficial long-term but adds immediate cost.

Our response focuses on three areas. First, disciplined financial planning with conservative assumptions. Second, flexible supplier contracts that avoid locking in unfavorable pricing. Third, diversified procurement to reduce dependency on single sources.

We are also accelerating digitalization to improve operational efficiency. While we cannot control external cost pressures, we can control our operational response to them.

What do you see as the main risks for the Romanian real estate market in 2026?

The primary risk is uncertainty. Macroeconomic instability and geopolitical tension reduce investor confidence, tighten financing conditions, and disrupt supply chains. Projects with solid fundamentals six months ago may no longer be viable.

Domestically, slow permitting processes and insufficient new residential supply create additional constraints. Construction cost volatility makes long-term project commitments difficult.

The greatest concern is developer consolidation. Projects lacking disciplined financials or conservative planning assumptions will face severe pressure. The market will reveal which developments were built on solid fundamentals versus optimistic projections.

The market will survive. Not all participants will.

Where do you see the most attractive opportunities for growth in 2026?

Location remains paramount, but context matters increasingly. The strongest opportunities are in mixed-use developments within neighborhoods that have functional infrastructure: reliable transit, utilities, and road systems.

Successful projects will reflect current lifestyle preferences rather than outdated models. Energy-efficient buildings are now baseline requirements. Buyers and tenants evaluate operating costs, and buildings with poor energy performance will lose competitive positioning.

Energy infrastructure itself represents significant opportunity. Solar installations, battery storage, and systems that reduce long-term operating costs deliver both financial returns and asset value appreciation.

The pattern is clear: projects that reduce costs, increase convenience, or improve quality of life will find demand. Undifferentiated residential products will be a struggle.

Which players or strategies are going to be winners in 2026?

Winners will be developers who execute reliably. In a difficult market, delivery capability separates viable players from the rest. This requires adequate capital, operational experience, and a verifiable track record.

Financial strength is essential. Developers who survive will be those who planned for adverse scenarios rather than only favorable outcomes. Business models dependent on optimal conditions represent excessive risk.

Successful developers also recognize that buildings must evolve. Mixed-use spreads risk. Energy efficiency protects value. These are requirements, not preferences.

The decisive advantage is reputation. In a cautious market, trust matters more than marketing. Developers known for on-time, on-budget delivery secure opportunities before formal negotiations begin.

Sema Real Estate officially enters the residential market with Sema Home
Sema Real Estate officially enters the residential market with Sema Home 800 448 BUCHAREST REAL ESTATE CLUB

Sema Real Estate, one of the largest Romanian-capital real estate developers in the country, announces the launch of the pre-sales process for the residential units in the first phase of the Sema Home project.

Located in the central-western area of Bucharest, Sema Home is the company’s first residential development and an integral part of Sema Parc, the most extensive urban regeneration project currently underway in the Capital.

The investment planned for this first development phase amounts to nearly €55 million and includes over 300 modern, energy-efficient apartments, designed to support a sustainable and balanced urban lifestyle.

“With the launch of Sema Home, we are opening a new chapter in the evolution of the Sema Parc development while officially entering the residential market with an integrated concept tailored to the real needs of today’s urban communities. Sema Home strikes a balance between premium standards and accessibility, setting a new benchmark for urban living in Bucharest, where quality, sustainability, and connectivity are key priorities,”
said Lucian Grosaru, CEO of Sema Real Estate.

Drawing inspiration from the “15-minute city” concept, already adopted in several European capitals and major cities, Sema Home ensures immediate access to all essential amenities: shops, offices, medical clinics, restaurants, schools, green spaces, and leisure options, all within walking distance or close to public transportation.

Petrache Poenaru metro station is just minutes away, and the project benefits from direct connections to major city arteries, offering a significant urban mobility advantage.

The first phase of the development includes a five-staircase residential building comprising 301 apartments, each designed with up to 20% more space than the market average. Every bedroom will feature an en-suite bathroom, a rare element in the standard residential segment.

The apartments will be equipped with underfloor heating, LG multisplit air conditioning systems, and Smart Home technologies for intelligent control over comfort, energy efficiency, and safety. Beyond its modern amenities, the project integrates international sustainability benchmarks, holding a BREEAM Excellent certification from the design phase. All buildings are constructed as NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Buildings), in line with EU directives on energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources.

With a future-oriented approach, Sema Home introduces to the Romanian real estate market a European model of residential development, combining smart investment, true sustainability, and integrated urban comfort in a neighborhood that is already shaping its identity through cohesion, infrastructure, and long-term vision.

Sema Home is being developed on the site of the former Semănătoarea industrial platform, a space that has been transformed into a modern urban hub with mixed-use functions. The project is part of a masterplan covering over 41 hectares, which is redefining this area of the city and positioning it as one of the most attractive zones for living and investment in Bucharest.
