Sofia offices, part of Central European office market
As part of the Central European office market, the offices in Sofia are in demand. The investments made in business properties in Central and Eastern Europe has reached 3.7 milliard Euro for the first five months of the year which marks 30 % increase compared to the first half of the last year. These data was provided by the consultancy company CBRE and were presented by Investor.bg website. The increase in the sales of offices in Sofia and the rest of Europe, as well as the increase of the rental of Sofia offices are due to the strong market in Russia. The Russian investors are heading towards the business properties and the office premises in Sofia and in the other capitals in Eastern and Central Europe. Still valid is the tendency according to which the investors are looking for high-class office premises with many extras and facilities.
The companies in Sofia which are looking for office premises show interest in the modern business centers, however they are also interested in the small individual offices in the very center of Sofia city. The prognosis are that once the situation in Bulgaria allows for more investments to be made these companies will move towards the new office buildings in Sofia, even though they are outside the very center of the capital. The companies are attracted by the office centers in Sofia which have parking area, 24-hour security service, management and service team and other comforts.
