VGP announces the acquisition of a new land plot in a prime location near Bucharest and the start of the development of its new multi-tenant business park VGP Park Bucharest. Law firm Kinstellar advised VGP Parks on the acquisition.
The new logistic park is being developed on a land plot of approx. 250,000 sqm and will have a total potential GLA of about 120,000 sqm divided over 4 buildings. Construction of the first building with a surface of 28,000 sqm is planned to be kicked-off in June 2021. Delivery is expected for December 2021.
Located in the northern part of Bucharest, the park offers flexibility to potential tenants in terms of layout and build-to-suit options.
The site’s location, in addition to the labor availability in this part of Bucharest, makes it ideal for companies active in the logistics, e-commerce, and retail industries, being a perfect site with direct access to the city center for last-mile distribution.
"We are very pleased to have acquired this strategically located land plot near the Romanian capital and thereby to enter Bucharest market as well. With technological changes and e-commerce continuing to be an important driver for demand for high-standard facilities, we experience a solid demand from potential tenants. With this new park, we can offer high quality & sustainable premises on a top Bucharest location” says Adrian Crizbășianu, Country Manager VGP Romania.

Bucharest also hosts almost half of the Romanian stock of modern A-class logistic space, estimated to about 5 million sqm at the end of 2020, thus being the primary market for the industrial real estate segment.
VGP Romania, a subsidiary of the VGP Group with a long-standing presence in Romania since 2007, owns presently business parks in Timisoara and Sibiu as well as parks under construction in Brasov and soon in Arad.
Founded in 1998 as a family-owned real estate developer in the Czech Republic, VGP owns and operates assets in 12 European countries directly and through its joint ventures. As of Dec 2020, the Gross Asset Value of VGP, including the joint ventures at 100%, amounted to €3.84 billion and the company had a Net Asset Value (EPRA NAV) of €1.35 billion.
