The first half of 2026 brought a clear recovery in the Central and Eastern European commercial real estate market.

Global luxury brands are expanding more cautiously, choosing markets and locations more carefully rather than rapidly adding stores, according to Colliers’ EMEA Retailer Performance & Consumer Spending Trends report.
