BRASOV Real-Estate Overview CBRE RESEARCH Photo source: georgestoica93.blogspot.ro
Due to the rapid expansion of the outsourcing sector worldwide, the complexity of the services in the biggest office hubs in Romania increases. Brasov is in favourable situation on the labour market, availability of modern office space and strong academic centres, as all provide a solid basis for the outsourcing sector.
Brasov shall remain on the FDI short list and it will get even more attractive to production companies as far as major infrastructure plans will be given the right priority. The current situation looks promising as both the airport and ring road are under construction and also the state authorities are planning to start construction for the A3 highway Bucharest - Brasov.

OFFICE STOCK
The modern office stock is estimated to be 93,000 sq m of class A and B, which is equivalent to almost 4% of the Bucharest office stock. However, counting also the class C buildings, this rises to 115,000 sq m. 38% of the office supply of class A and B is concentrated in the Civic Center and on Calea Bucuresti. The stock is rather new, with 80% of office supply having been delivered or refurbished a�er 2008.

The largest office projects in Brasov are located in the semi-central area: Coresi Business Park (reconversion from Tractorul factory) developed by Ascenta Management and Brasov Business Park developed by Ravensdale Investments.
Ascenta Management is the most active developer in Brasov, Coresi Business Park being a gradual master-planned development, the industrial to office reconversion having started in 2008. The business park will reach a GLA of approximately 60,000 sq m in the next 10 years. The first phase is already converted to modern offices and is fully leased by multinational
companies like: CGS, Fresenius, IBM, Raiffeisen Operational
Centre, Freudenberg, Walters, e-Value.
In addition to the existing, converted office space, the
project will feature 10 new modern low-rise office buildings (GF + 3F/4F). Coresi Business Park started
construction on the second phase of the project, consisting of two new office buildings, with a total area of 18,000 sq m. The first building will be delivered in Q2 2016. In addition, the campus offers over 20,000 sq m of green, landscaped areas, thus a providing outdoor relaxation at ease.
In close proximity to the office scheme, a large, dominant shopping center was opened in early 2015, Coresi Shopping Resort, anchored by Auchan.
Brasov Business Park offers 21,000 sq m in a modern class A environment. The scheme benefits from great visibility and accessibility, as well as proximity to a large retail area. The second phase is still pending, with construction delayed due to macro-economic difficulties.

On the short and medium term, the proportion between demand and supply for office space is balanced. On the long-term however and with reaching a critical mass of highly skilled human resources and a quality business environment, we expect the demand for class A office space to substantially increase.

METHODOLOGY & DEFINITIONS
Prime Rent - represents the top open-market tier of rent that could be expected for a unit of standard size (commensurate with demand in each location), of the highest quality and specification and in the best location in a market at the survey date. The Prime Rent should reflect the level at which relevant transac-tions are being completed in the market at the time, but need not be exactly identical to any of them, particularly if deal flow is very limited or made up of unusual one-off deals. If there are no relevant transactions during the survey period, the quoted figure will be more hypothetical, based on an expert opinion of market conditions.
Vacancy Rate - represents the percentage ratio of total vacant space to stock.
Total Stock – represents the total completed space (occupied and vacant) in the private and public sector at the survey date. Includes owner occupied space.
Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) – a specialized organization that provides specific business functions (or processes), usually non-produc-tion ones to third parties.
Shared Service Centre (SSC) – a separated part of an enterprise that provides a service to an organization or group where that service had previously been found in more than
one part of the organization or group. The funding and resourcing of the service is shared and the providing department effectively becomes an internal service provider.
Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) – a form of outsourcing, in which knowledge-related and information-related work is carried out by workers in a different compa-ny or by a subsidiary of the same organization, which may be in the same country or in an offshore location to save cost. This typically involves high-value work carried out by highly skilled staff.
Cities like Brasov have long been a magnet for diverse, skilled, valuable talent, and recent economic evolutions have made the city retain and attract both entry, and mid-level and top-level professionals. With a solid education, varied opportunities and international exposure, these talents have grown into a workforce pool that can drive business growth for companies investing in the region.
Emil Minciu, Operations & Sales DirectorManpower Romania
When compared with other cities, Brasov has the substantial advantage of the high number of foreign language speakers, available for employment, especially those fluent in German. More educational centres for learning foreign languages would increase the attractiveness of the city.

LABOUR MARKET
Brasov has emerged as a favourable office location for Shared Service Centers, BPO & KPO, business services and IT&C support centers. Brasov is a destination as an alterna-tive location to Bucharest or as an additional location for companies that already have set up operations in the capital.
The increase in the number of people employed in the service centres also means expanding the pool of candidates who understand the nature of work in the sector and have experience in servicing custom-ers from abroad. The average length of service in the sector is about three years and is still growing.
At present, we can clearly distinguish a group of employees who see their future career in the business services sector. Many of these individuals continue to develop their skills, including learning additional foreign languages.’
POPULAR LANGUAGES IN BRASOV
Knowledge of foreign languages is one of the key advantages of Brasov when attracting multinational companies, English being one of the most popular language, with the
majority of the employees being fluent in English.With a considerable native Hungarian community (7% of total population), Brasov provides a vigorous pool for companies seeking to find proficient or native Hungarian speakers. Other very common languages are German and Spanish, 2,000 persons being trained in these languages annually by 10 different institutions in Brasov.
All indications show that the rising trend in the number of people who speak a foreign language will continue.

The performance of employees in Brasov is very good, thus our centre here has become an excel-lence centre within the group. The main advan-tage when selecting Brasov was the high level of qualification and specialization of the electrical engineers found here, unmatched by other regions.

INDUSTRIAL STOCK
The modern industrial stock is estimated to be around 360,000 sq m of class A and B, which is equivalent to almost 35% of the Bucharest industrial stock. Brownfield schemes, class C&D buildings adds to the overall stock another 450,000 sq m.
BrasovIndustrial
The new supply of industrial space is concentrated now mainly in the West part of Brasov, greenfields developments like: Brasov Industrial Park, Olympian Park Brasov, WDP Codlea Industrial Park are located near Ghimbav and Codlea the other major industrial park: Prejmer Industrial Park is situated in the North East part.
The remaining former industrial platforms are located in the South, South East part of Brasov city, while other brownfield spaces are spread along the county. Part of the projects have been demolished creating new
urban spaces and those remaining have been
refurbished to accommodate different industrial activities.
A great deal of companies which previously been in
brownfieldd buildings or even tenants in greenfield developments had took in some point in time the decision to develop their own buildings due to favourable real
estate conditions.
The majority of new industrial developments has purely production purposes and only to a small degree distribution and logistics matters. 'Built to suit' facilities have been common in the past few years in terms of development trends only a few speculative projects were registered. The trend might continue for a period of time and contribute to maintaing a lower based vacancy rate which now actually stands at 3.8%, even lower for class A buildings 2.9%.
The construction of the Comarnic – Brasov highway, the airport and the ring road should boost the demand for industrial warehouse and logistics facilities and even for production plants.
Purchasers interested in buying plots of land for industrial purposes could find offers that already have all the permits included and utilities on site for a price that can range between 20 and 30 Eur/sq m.

Within the industry, the main branches that have contributed to production sector were those in manufacturing, more than 85%. Much of Industrial production output is oriented mainly for export towards European Union countries.
Among those industries we found at significant rates the Automotive sector, TIER 1 companies and other smaller companies that produce smaller parts for this industry: Autoliv, Draxlmaier, Continental Powertrain, Hib Rolem, Preh, Quin, Stabilus, Terwa, Romradiatoare,
Hutchinson, Ina Schaeffler, Total Lubricants. Around 44 local and international companies around Brasov county that concentrated or partially concentrated their produc-tion capabilities deliver automotive components and parts to interna-tional OEM's.
The aeronautical industrial sector is well represented by companie like: Eurocopter (Airbus Helicopter),Guer-in, IAR Ghimbav, Premium Aerotec and we expect new companies to come and invest in the region.
The wood and the other related sectors are consistantly contributing to the county’s economy, many companies are spread within the county’s territory boarders: Krono-span, J.F. Furnir Holver, Losan, Kastamonu, Rompaper, Ecopack, Ecopaper.
We relocated in Brasov for the highly professional, efficient and competitive labour force that we needed for our business expansion. We were greatly interested in the staff previously well trained into the industrial production processes.

METHODOLOGY & DEFINITIONS
Prime headline rent (in Euro per sq m) represents the top open-market tier of rent that could be expected for a unit of standard size commensu-rate with demand in each location, of highest quality and specification and in the best location in a market at the survey date. For the purposes of this report, a unit of standard size is assumed to be around 2,000 sq m GLA.
Vacancy Rate - (in sq m) represents the total net lettable (or rentable) floor space in existing properties, which is physically vacant and being actively marketed at the survey date. Prime headline rent (in Euro per sq m) represents the top open-market tier of rent that could be expected for a unit of standard size commensu-rate with demand in each location, of highest quality and specification and
in the best location in a market at the survey date. For the purposes of this report, a unit of standard size is assumed to be around 2,000 sq m GLA. Effective rent – an average rent over the whole lease period which includes tenant’s incentives.
Build-to-suit (BTS) – a non-standard warehouse or industrial scheme designed according to specific tenant’s requirements regarding size, location and building standards. The design is based on the client’s technology process. The projects are usually dedicated for one tenant, newly built or a�er general refurbishments. BTS projects are more and more popular, especially for production companies. Clients preferring BTS investments over constructing their own buildings, limit the risk by choosing an experi-enced developer, shorten the time necessary for the development
process and reduce the development cost by using the developer’s resourc-es. Lease agreements are more advantageous than the construction of a company’s own facilities, mainly because such projects do not require the involvement of their own capital and provide flexibility for future extension or relocation.
CBRE - Brasov Real Estate 201514
LABOUR MARKET
Between 1990 and 2004 industrial production in Brasov county decreased by 70%, companies like: Roman Trucks Factory, Tractorul Plant and Bearing Factory Brasov which previously employed about 80,000 people decreased their manufacturing activity or even closed it. As a consequence a large labour pool available for being employed appeared within a couple of years.
Among the first international companies to consider relocating their production processes in the central part of Romania was HIB Rolem in 1994 with around 1,200 employees and Autoliv in 1997 which now has around 5,800 employees.
Companies have been attracted back then by the high unemployment rate,
the skilled labour force which previously worked in different industrial sectors and of course by the educational facilities.
Lately we see an increasing demand, thus difficulty, to hire unskilled workers forcing companies to expand their search area to over 60 km and offer a salary bump. Almost the same situation we can observe when looking towards the more qualified labour force as more and more companies started to open local R&D departaments such as: Autoliv, Ina Schaeffler, Continental Powetrain.
German companies decided to help the local educational system in Brasov by creating Kronstadt German Professional School which at the end of the program hire the students.

RETAIL MARKET
Even if Brasov is the 7th largest city in Romania, until recently the retail market was rather undeveloped and scattered into multiple, small and medium size schemes. A�er the opening of Coresi Shopping Resort, in Q1 2015, the situation is different, Brasov having a retail density of 463 sq m of retail space per 1,000 inhabitants.
HIGH-STREET
Compared to many other regional cities, Brasov has a strong,
BrasovRetail
high-performing and attractive high-street environment. Republicii Blvd, Muresenilor Blvd, Piata Sfatului and the surrounding streets form a mix of retail, leisure and entertainment, set within the beautiful medieval architecture of the old city center.

In total the modern retail stock in Brasov is of 117,000 sq m, with first and second generation schemes accounting for 60%.

In addition to the above mentioned sites, there are multiple stand-alone units, operated by hypermarkets (Kaufland), discounters (Lidl, Penny Market), cash&carry (Metro, Selgros) and DIY units (Praktiker, Brico Depot, Horhbach, Dedeman, Baumax).
Brasov offers multiple options for shopping, within a variety of formats, targeting locals, customers from neighbouring counties and tourists.
PIPELINE
During 2007 – 2008 several retail schemes were proposed for develop-ment in Brasov, meaning IUS Center (Immofinanz), Civis Center (former Riofisa), Polus Center (Trigranit), Roua Shopping Park (Immofinanz). At the moment all of them are on hold, with limited chances for development in the format initially presented.
Most recently, three major develop-ers showed interest in Brasov: NEPI, through a partnership with Carrefour Property, to extend, redevelop the site where currently Carrefour operates, AFI Europe, through the acquisition of the Hidromecanica plot, owned by Cora, Echo Invest-ments, by pursuing the development of Korona Shopping Center (former factory Fartec).
AFI Europe plans to open up a third generation shopping center of around 45,000 sq m, alongside a class A office building of 12,000 sq m. The scheme is scheduled for opening in Q4 2017.
In addition, Coresi Shopping Resort is planned for an extension of around 13,500 sq m, in the form of exterior big box units, located near the existing shopping centre.
It is difficult to estimate which scheme will start first the construc-
tion, but it is unlikely that more than one developer will proceed with development.
DEMAND
All major food and DIY operators are present in the market, with one or multiple outlets. Also, homeware retailers like Altex, Flanco, Media Galaxy, Mobexpert, Jysk are present. Fashion stores include Inditex brands, H&M, German retailers like New Yorker, C&A, Takko, Deich-mann, niche retailers like Nissa, Steilmann, Ecco, Musette. Special-ised retailers like Noriel, Carturesti, Sergent Major, are also present. Comfort categories is represented by Douglas, Sephora, Yves Rocher, DM Dorgerie and others. In general the market is well balanced and offers plenty of attractions.
