COMMERICAL REAL ESTATE IN CROATIA
The real estate market in Croatia is one of the most developed in the region.The total supply of modern office stock in Zagreb amounts to approximately 1.5 million sq m, including Class A and Class B office space.
The retail market in Zagreb is considered to be the most developed. With a retail stock of approximately 530,000 sq m GLA it exceeds the average of other capital cities in the region. This has resulted in developers moving their attention towards secondary cities, especially along the Adriatic coast.
Despite the growth of the past few years the industrial and logistics sector is still the least developed commercial real estate sector in Croatia. The majority of the logistics stock is concentrated in and around the capital city of Zagreb. However, zones in Kukuljanovo near the city of Rijeka and Dugopolje near the city of Split are growing.
The Croatian real estate market is attracting notable investment, while growing consumption, tourism and economic growth further encourage international players to expand their business in Croatia.
Located in the heart of Zagreb Central Business District, CBS International’s office helps real estate investors and occupiers respond to these growing opportunities – both within the city and throughout Croatia.

Zagreb is the capital of Croatia, with a population of around 820,000. It is located in the northwest of the country, along the Sava river. Zagreb is the most important transport hub in Croatia where Central Europe, the Mediterranean and Southeast Europe meet, making the Zagreb area the centre of the road, rail and air networks of Croatia.
