At the same time, property type varied from prime properties, such as Charles de Gaulle Plaza, to secondary properties, such as Auchan Pitești Găvana, or 'distressed' properties (Pic Pitești and Pic Oradea).

Prime yield for the office segment dropped from 8.25% to 8%. The rest of prime yields remained stable.
Prime rent was relatively stable — 60 euro/sqm/month for shopping centers, 18 euro/sqm/month for office spaces and 3.8 euro/sqm/month for industrial spaces.
 CBRE also noticed an increase in land transactions in terms of number, value and type of sold properties.
