Investment & finance
Retail accounted for 36 pct of total commercial real estate investment in both Poland and Italy in Q2 2026, the highest share among the eight European markets reviewed in the latest Focus Estate Fund ‘Quarterly Litmus Paper’. The report points to sustained investor demand for retail parks and food-anchored assets, supported by low vacancy, resilient consumer spending and a constrained supply of high-quality space.

The Territorial Planning, Urbanism and Construction Code (CATUC) is expected to have a significant impact on Romania’s real estate market.
