Romania’s modern retail market continues to expand, exceeding the threshold of 5 million square metres of leasable retail space. The stock is still heavily concentrated in Bucharest and five other major counties, which together account for almost half of the national total.
Bucharest and its surrounding areas account for almost 1.3 million square metres of leasable space, while the next five counties, Timiș, Iași, Bihor, Argeș and Cluj, together contribute more than 1.1 million square metres, mostly located in county capitals.
In 2025, the market recorded around 190,000 square metres of newly delivered retail space, according to preliminary data. The largest project was the expansion of Mall Moldova in Iași, adding nearly 60,000 square metres.
