The coworking and flexible office sector in Romania grew by roughly 20% in 2025, demonstrating resilience despite a challenging economic environment, according to Coworking Europe.
Companies increasingly adopted coworking and flexible workspace solutions to reduce costs, boost operational flexibility, and support hybrid work strategies, according to a market analysis by Supertree Workspaces & More.
Diverse Demand Fuels Growth
The report notes that demand came from a mix of multinational corporations, Romanian companies, SMEs, and freelancers. Businesses used coworking for purposes ranging from testing new markets and forming temporary teams to downsizing from traditional office leases.
Flexible office solutions offered potential savings of 30% to 50% compared to conventional leasing.
Bucharest Leads the Market
Bucharest remains the largest and most dynamic coworking hub in Romania, with over 100 coworking spaces and roughly 70,000 m² of flexible workspace. This represents 2.3% of the city’s modern office stock, slightly below the European average.
Prime office rents in Bucharest range between €18 and €22 per square meter, significantly lower than regional peers such as Warsaw (€25–28), Prague (€26–30), and Vienna (€28–35), 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 1–2 years for private offices and about 12 months for open-space desks. Occupancy rates across coworking spaces in Bucharest ranged from 70% to 90%.
Romania’s 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.
