Office space in Bulgaria - demand, supply, vacancy and rental prices

BULGARIAN PROPERTIES has registered increased demand for office space during the first half of 2015. That is a consequence from the positive expectations of the companies regarding their future development as well as the future economic situation in Bulgaria, the region and the EU as a whole.

Demand is dominated by companies, whose office needs are up to 500 sq.m. but there are also enquiries for greater office space. Although the companies that are looking for office space operate in diverse industries, most of them come from the IT sector. Another significant factor driving the demand comes from the outsourcing industry.

Over 60% of the demand for office space comes from companies that are looking to consolidate their office space under one roof. There are quite a few occasions when companies, that have several offices at different locations are willing to bring them together in order to optimize costs and increase productivity. The rest of the demand comes from companies looking to open a new office here in Bulgaria.

80% of the enquiries come from companies that plan to start working with up to 50 people but often there is a potential expansion of these needs. Some of the enquiries aim at satisfying greater needs from the beginning and are looking for greater office space that would allow 70-80 and even 100 people to start working immediately.

Vacant Office Space and Supply

At present vacant office space that is able to satisfy demand of up to 500 sq.m. is available but the supply of ready to use office space that is around and over 1 000 sq.m. is low. However, till the end of the year several new deliveries of buildings are expected to happen and this will make it possible to meet the demand for office space that is over 1 000-1 500 sq.m.
