Fressnapf Romania, part of one of Europe’s largest retailers specialising in pet products and services, has leased office space at Hermes Business Campus in Bucharest’s Dimitrie Pompeiu area. Fortim Trusted Advisors, a member of the BNP Paribas Real Estate Alliance, advised on the transaction.
The new office is the first permanent base for Fressnapf’s Romanian team, following a period in which the company operated from a coworking space. The German company chose to remain in the Dimitrie Pompeiu area, where its team was already based, with continuity of location being one of the key selection criteria.
Hermes Business Campus represents the first investment in Romania’s office sector by Adventum International
“The leasing activity at Hermes Business Campus reflects the strength of the asset and the progress we have made in positioning it to meet occupiers’ evolving needs. Companies are increasingly focused on finding the right balance between cost, quality and accessibility, and Hermes is well placed to deliver on all three. The continued demand we are seeing confirms that our active asset management approach is creating tangible value for both current and future tenants”, says Gergely Koó, Leasing Director of Adventum.
With its range of office sizes and layouts, Hermes Business Campus accommodates both companies with large teams and occupiers seeking compact, efficient offices within a business campus offering integrated services and amenities.
“Since entering the Romanian market in 2022, Fressnapf has maintained a steady pace of growth, expanding its network to more than 30 stores nationwide. This expansion is also reflected in the growth of our local team, and the move from a coworking space to a permanent office is a natural step in the company’s development. We chose to remain in the Dimitrie Pompeiu area, which is already familiar to our colleagues, and our new office provides the environment and flexibility needed to support the next stage of Fressnapf’s growth in Romania,” says Dániel Kisgergely, Cluster Managing Director for Hungary and Romania at Fressnapf Hungaria & Romania.
Moving into a dedicated office allows Fressnapf to tailor the space to its own way of working and create an environment suited to a growing team.
Hermes Business Campus is one of the major Class A office developments in the Dimitrie Pompeiu area and comprises three buildings with a total lettable area of approximately 73,400 sq m. The development offers flexible office space, modern technical infrastructure, building management systems and convenient access to public transport. The campus holds BREEAM Excellent sustainability certification and is located a short distance from Pipera metro station.
“We are seeing more companies that, following an initial phase of growth in a coworking space or another flexible workspace, reach a point where they need their own office, tailored to their team and growth plans. For Fressnapf, an important consideration was remaining in the same area, which employees were already familiar with. Hermes Business Campus offered the right combination of space efficiency and flexibility,” says Nicolae Ciobanu, Managing Partner – Head of Advisory at Fortim Trusted Advisors, a member of the BNP Paribas Real Estate Alliance.
In the first six months of 2026, companies establishing their first permanent office in Romania leased a total of 6,245 sq m, accounting for 7.7% of the total office space leased in Bucharest during this period.
