Romania’s Retail Market Grows
Romania’s consumer spending continued to support the expansion of the retail sector in 2025 despite persistent inflationary pressures. The 125 major retailers analysed generated more than EUR 42 bln in sales during the year, representing a 5.6 pct increase compared with 2024 and a 77 pct increase compared with 2019, according to the 'Romania Retail Snapshot 2026', published by real estate consultancy Cushman & Wakefield Echinox. The study is based on the financial results of companies operating across 13 retail segments.
Poland’s warehouse market looks beyond space
Poland’s modern warehouse and industrial stock has reached 37.44 mln sqm. Demand rose by 47 pct year on year in the first quarter of 2026. At the same time, companies are raising their expectations of what such facilities should offer. Floor space and location remain important, but so do flexibility, automation and the potential for future expansion.

Poland’s retail property market saw a clear revival in the first half of 2026. Transaction volumes topped EUR 1 bln, surpassing the total recorded for the whole of 2025. Retail accounted for around one-third of all commercial real estate investment.
Planning Code Set to Change Real Estate Market
The Territorial Planning, Urbanism and Construction Code (CATUC) is expected to have a significant impact on Romania’s real estate market. Two measures are likely to be particularly important: tighter limits on how much can be built on a site and a new infrastructure payment, the cost of which has yet to be determined, according to Crosspoint Real Estate.

Poland’s overall warehouse vacancy rate is around 7 pct, but large, well-located warehouse space is becoming much harder to find. Companies looking for more than 15,000 sqm are increasingly competing for the same buildings. According to SQM Advisory, the squeeze is no longer confined to the very largest warehouses; availability of mid-sized units is also tightening.

Poland Warehouse market picks up as tenants expand
Poland’s warehouse market picked up noticeably in the first half of 2026 after a year dominated by lease renegotiations. New leases and expansions made up 60 pct of tenant activity, while cautious development kept new supply in check.

Tenant activity slowed in Wrocław in the first half of 2026. Two office projects were completed in the first quarter, leaving no buildings under construction. The vacancy rate also edged down.

Poland Warehouse demand strengthens as availability tightens in Poland
Poland’s warehouse market gained momentum in the first half of 2026 as occupier demand picked up while the development pipeline continued to shrink. Gross take-up rose 21 pct year on year, while net take-up – covering new leases and expansions – jumped 58 pct to more than 2.1 mln sqm. The vacancy rate fell to 6.3 pct and space under construction dropped to its lowest level in more than nine years. According to Axi Immo, the combination of strong demand and limited new supply could stimulate rent rises in many markets.
