Griffes secures 6,000 sqm lease in Bucharest's Unirii View

Business Forum
Griffes has leased 6,000 sqm of office space in Unirii View, one of Bucharest's Class A office buildings. Of the total space leased, 2,000 sqm represents new tenants, while three existing tenants expanded their operations.

Owned by Belgian developer Weerts Group, Unirii View has approximately 18,000 sqm of gross leasable area and 100% occupancy. 

The latest transactions were concluded with companies from business services and IT sectors amid a tightening Bucharest office market, where average vacancy has fallen below 12%. Availability in central locations is lower, particularly for large spaces in Class A buildings.

"With new office deliveries remaining limited, well-positioned assets in central areas such as Unirii View continue to outperform, attracting tenants making strategic, long-term decisions about their workplaces," said Andreea Păun, Managing Partner at Griffes. "For the first time in nearly 20 years, the Bucharest office market has gone through an entire year without delivery of any new office developments. This has pushed vacancy in Class A buildings in the Center submarket down to a record-low 3%."

Around 400,000 sqm of office space remains unoccupied in Bucharest, with highest availability in the Pipera and Expoziției submarkets. More than 150,000 sqm is currently under construction, due for delivery in 2026 and 2027. The total office stock in the Center area is 450,000 sqm, while Bucharest's total modern office stock is 3.5 million sqm.
