The film industry provoked more office rentals in Sofia
When a certain industry is in progress, this affects other spheres of businesses as well. This happened in Sofia, when the film industry brought here many new companies and workers. An interest had been shown in luxury houses for rent in the areas of Boyana and Dragalevtsi, close to the studios and in the offices nearby and along Bulgaria Blvd. that connects the two prestigious districts with the center of the capital Sofia. The interest of the foreign investors towards Bulgaria and especially towards Sofia is serious; however they are more focused on renting apartments and offices in Sofia rather than buying them. The foreign citizens who rent offices of the highest class and apartments in good areas are usually working for the big international companies. Ninety percent of the actual buyers of luxury houses, apartments and top offices however are local people and companies.
For the first three months of the year, the rental market of offices and apartments in Sofia is stable and has increased twice if compared with the same segment of the market last year. It seems that the film industry had a lot to do with that, since the movie companies were renting many luxurious properties for the TV episodes and movies they are filming in Bulgaria. These companies are usually looking for luxuriously furnished houses in Boyana district that had four or five bedrooms.
