Stable rental levels for the Sofia offices
Sofia offices of the highest class A are the ones that are most sought after and their rental levels remain stable. At the same time the number of the available offices of that class is going down since not many investors are now starting new projects for luxurious office buildings. The stable rental and sales levels of these high-class Sofia offices will remain the same, according to the prognosis of the real estate agents. The demand for such offices is due to the outsourcing business, the IT companies that are based in Sofia, the pharmaceutical companies and the shared services call centers. All those companies and business representatives are looking for business centers of high class that have large office premises and convenient to use transport infrastructure.
Approximately 65 % of the available office premises in Sofia are based in the business districts outside the center of the Bulgarian capital, followed by 20 % office premises in the center of Sofia and 15 % in the other regions of the city such as Lozenets district, for example. Due to the increased demand for offices of class A and the lack of new projects the construction of which have started this year, real estate agents predict that there will be a shortage of quality offices in the near future, which will lead to a new niche for prime buildings construction with reasonable investment and a great location. In the next months to come shall be finished several new office projects that will meet to some extend the needs in that segment of the market.
