Thus, last year, the Austrian companies bought in Romania real estate assets (offices and retail space) worth 323 million euro, while investors from the Czech Republic invested 173 million euro and those from Hungary 150 million euro. Fourth in the top are domestic investors, through companies with Romanian shareholders which acquired real estate assets worth 119.55 million euro. Among the big Romanian investors who compared to foreign investor are Dedeman and the company One United Properties.
For this year, an investment fund from the Czech Republic analyses the development of a new project, worth some tens of thousands of square metres of offices in Bucharest, in the central area, say the analysis makers.
According to the quoted source, at the level of Europe, in the spring of 2020, the majority of foreign investors postponed their transactions until Europe reopened. During the whole year, until Q1 2021 foreign investments dropped by 38% against the same period of 2020, but later the situation improved.
