International Investor Enters Bucharest Office Market Through @Expo Campus Acquisition
The Belgian developer Atenor has completed the sale of the @Expo office campus in northern Bucharest to an international investor newly entering the local market. The transaction, coordinated by consulting firms CBRE and Colliers, highlights ongoing interest in modern buildings certified for energy performance and sustainability.
The @Expo campus, located on Bulevardul Expoziției, comprises three office buildings and 50,000 square meters of leasable space, complemented by 740 parking spaces and approximately 3,200 square meters of ground-floor retail. The buildings, delivered between 2021 and 2023, were designed to meet current tenant requirements, including energy-efficient solutions and wellness facilities. The campus hosts tenants from IT, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, and business services, and is BREEAM “Outstanding” certified, the highest rating under the international building performance standard.
According to Colliers’ report, Romania’s real estate investment market recorded a volume of approximately €525 million in 2025, with forecasts of growth to €750 million in 2026. The office segment accounted for one-third of total transactions, and prime yields remained around 7.50%. The Expoziției – Piața Presei – Montreal area is consolidating as an emerging hub of the capital, supported by the proximity to Herăstrău Park, easy access to the city center, and direct connections to the airport, to be further enhanced by the future M6 metro line.
Analysts note that the limited supply of new buildings in 2025 and demand focused on modern, ESG-certified projects continue to sustain the attractiveness of campuses like @Expo. The transaction also reflects foreign investors’ appetite for institutional assets with active management potential and the strengthening of liquidity in the local office market.
