In the first half of the year, prime office rents fell 15-20%. A company that plans to relocate office in the central area of the Bucharest pays an average rent of €20/sqm/month, versus €22-25/sqm/month last year.
“For a relocation in a central office building, a company benefits apart from a better location, of lower rent which would generate up to €60,000 in saving to its operating expenses”, Colliers said.
“The advantage of a lower rent can be wiped out by the relocation costs. So, the tenant’s decision to invest in fit-outs can lift markedly the relocation budget”.
“In semi-central areas, a tenant will pay around €16-18/sqm/month compared to €18-20/sqm/month, thus saving around €24,000 per year. For an office building at the outskirts of Bucharest a tenant will pay €12-14/sqm/year versus €14-16/sqm/year, bringing about a €24,000 in savings annually”, real estate consultant said.
Incentives such as rent-free periods are often practiced in the cities outside Bucharest, where landlords offer the possibility of not paying rent for up to one year, or contribute to space fit-out, according to Jones Lang LaSalle.
Modern office supply in Bucharest has increased by 260,000 sqm to 1.4 million sqm, according to Jones Lang LaSalle estimates.
Furthermore, the average take-up rate increased in the nine months through September this year to 12.9%, and 6% respectively for prime office spaces and to over 18% for Class B offices, generally located at the Capital’s outskirts.
