A new trend is being observed in the logistics space industry. According to an analysis conducted by the developer and operator Transilvania Construcții, companies that rent storage spaces are increasingly requesting office spaces next to their logistics activities.
In logistic spaces, offices are requested for the HR, accounting, or technical support departments of companies that already have a presence in TRC spaces.
Proximity has become increasingly necessary in the real estate landscape, regardless of the niche, and now more specific requests are becoming increasingly common. “In a sector sensitive to any market shock factors – pandemic, war, inflation – the objective of adapting becomes essential for any company. Of course, the positive aspect, but also the driving force of our motivation as a result of these factors, is the fact that this is also a market in continuous development and change. Thus, the needs of the market and our clients are in constant dynamics, and we are here to offer them either a new office, right next to their warehouses, new dedicated facilities, or spaces adapted in real-time,” says Andrei Timofte – CEO – Transilvania Construcții.
A 45% increase in the demand for offices within the logistic and industrial parks in Transilvania Construcții's portfolio has been observed, a trend that has remained constant post-pandemic. “We all know that the need for proximity in cities has become increasingly important. We see the same thing in our market segment, given that our parks are strategically developed in key areas of the country, in very dynamic cities like Cluj, Bacău, Arad, or Oradea, and that is why there is a need to stay connected to the main activity of their businesses. In all our warehouses, larger administrative office spaces have been requested over the last three years,” explains Paul Barna – Property Manager – Transilvania Construcții.
Transilvania Construcții's properties are located in-city or on the outskirts of major cities in Romania and along main transportation routes. The types of spaces vary from large buildings, primarily used as distribution centers, to urban warehouses. Strategically developed in the western and eastern parts of the country, the company offers supply chains projects with over 250,000 square meters of rentable space in 83 industrial and logistic spaces, actively contributing to the flow of the most important and consumed goods in Romania.
“Being present in this market for many years, adapting spaces is one of our most important activities. Therefore, we have learned to always combine the recalibration of our spaces with the specific needs of our clients, whether existing or new, and we continuously optimize all our warehouses, from implementing new energy criteria, new fit-out solutions, expanding spaces, to simply improving the surfaces,” details Paul Barna.
With a presence in four counties and accommodating eight industrial and logistic parks, Transilvania Construcții aims to be a positive factor for society and the environment through high standards of quality and sustainability in the properties they develop, as well as in their business operations.
Transilvania Constructii has been developing, owning, and managing industrial properties for over 20 years under the TRC Parks network. Currently, the company has a portfolio of approximately 250,000 square meters of industrial and logistic spaces, hosting the activities of over 300 clients from various market sectors. These spaces facilitate the production and delivery of goods and services essential to contemporary life. Transilvania Construcții is a national leader in the category of urban industrial spaces with modules under 1,000 square meters and is the largest developer of logistic spaces in the country, with 100% Romanian ownership.
