Bucharest Leads the Market
Bucharest remains the largest and most dynamic coworking hub in Romania, with over 100 coworking spaces and roughly 70,000 mยฒ of flexible workspace. This represents 2.3% of the cityโs modern office stock, slightly below the European average.
Prime office rents in Bucharest range between โฌ18 and โฌ22 per square meter, significantly lower than regional peers such as Warsaw (โฌ25โ28), Prague (โฌ26โ30), and Vienna (โฌ28โ35), making it attractive to international tenants.
Sector and Occupancy Highlights
Key tenant sectors include IT, shared services, fintech, pharma, consulting, and legal services. In 2025, average rental periods were 1โ2 years for private offices and about 12 months for open-space desks. Occupancy rates across coworking spaces in Bucharest ranged from 70% to 90%.
Romaniaโs appeal is strengthened by a multilingual workforce, competitive labor costs, and strategic access to the Balkans and Black Sea, positioning the country as a growing destination for flexible office solutions.
