Property investment activity dips in romania

There has been a decline in the level of investment flowing into the Romanian commercial property sector in 2011.

Head of valuations and consulting at DTZ Echinox Bogdan Sergentu explained the amount of money invested in Romanian real estate dropped by 13 per cent in 2011, compared to the previous year.

Bucharest was the main target for those seeking such assets in the country, with developments in the city accounting for six out of the 13 transactions completed last year.

Mr Sergentu added 69 per cent of the total investment volume for 2011 was spent on mixed-use developments, despite a greater number of deals being agreed in the retail sector.
