aSpace sees 85% occupancy for Bucharest flex offices in 2025

Business Forum
aSpace, Romania's largest domestic coworking and flexible office network, achieved an average occupancy rate of 85% in 2025, up from 80% in 2024, reaching 390 tenants in its portfolio. 

The company attracted 124 new clients last year and expanded its managed space by nearly 10% to approximately 7,000 sqm.

In 2025, aSpace observed a shift in demand structure, with more corporate teams of 8-15 people opting to rent two or three private offices within the same building. This trend confirms companies' orientation towards flexible solutions adapted to medium and short-term projects. The company focused on optimising occupancy rates by reducing vacancy periods and making contract structures more flexible, with an average contract duration of 22 months.

"The office market is going through an accelerated maturation stage, where flexibility and speed of reaction make the difference. Companies are no longer just looking for space, but for efficient solutions that are easily accessible and adapted to current economic realities," said Bogdan Mariniuc, CEO of aSpace. "In 2025 we chose to focus on operational consolidation and increasing occupancy rates, and in 2026 we are moving forward through complete digitalisation of services and developing strategic partnerships to support this model."

For 2026, the company aims to accelerate service digitalisation, having already implemented an online booking and payment system for meeting rooms. aSpace is working to extend this model to the hot-desk segment in partnership with Coworkperativa, to facilitate access for freelancers and flexible teams to its spaces.

aSpace currently operates flexible office spaces in six of Bucharest's most active areas and holds approximately 9% market share in the capital's flex office segment. Its clients include freelancers, start-ups, and local and international companies from various industries: IT & software development (33%), consulting (24%), real estate (14%), marketing & communication (12%), retail & e-commerce (10%), and other industries (7%).
