Real Estate Transactions - Cluj-Napoca, 2016

august 2017
Cluj-Napoca City Hall and Local Council

Foreword
Dear readers,
We continue the Cluj-Napoca Real Estate Transactions Guide with the release of the 4th edition,
which we hope becomes a long lasting tradition. Cluj-Napoca proves to be a pioneer through this unique Guide
in Romania as well as by hosting several other unique projects.
I still hope that a replica of the Guide is issued by other cities from Romania since this initiative
primarily depends on the local authorities decision to implement.
Similar to the previous editions the Guide includes a summary of the transactions concluded in
Cluj-Napoca in 2016 in terms of number and value of transactions. Additionally, the Guide presents trends
recorded during the last 4 years.
The Guide is publicly available hence all interested parties may perform their analyses based on
the wide variety of information provided by this series of Guides.
The quality of information related to real estate transactions is very important considering that
the justice system utilizes real estate transactions in certain cases to motivate their rulings. Consequently, we
believe that publishing information related to transactions available at the local authorities is both necessary
and beneficial.
While extremely interesting, I choose not to reveal any of the key figures of 2016 which are for you
to discover.
We look forward to next year.

The districts of Cluj-Napoca
Currently, Cluj-Napoca is divided into the following

districts: City Centre, Zorilor, Manastur, Grigorescu,
Gheorgheni, Andrei Muresanu, Marasti, Iris, Bulgaria,
Dambul Rotund, Someseni, Plopilor, Gruia, Intre Lacuri,
Buna Ziua, Europa, Colonia Sopor, Colonia Faget,
Colonia Borhanci, Colonia Becas and the adjacent area.
The real estate expansion period led to a higher density

of residences in established districts, respectively
Gheorgheni, Marasti, Andrei Muresanu, Zorilor, Gruia,
Grigorescu, Manastur, Plopilor and also to seek out
areas with a lower density, suitable for development
such as Campului (Manastur), Buna Ziua, Europa,
Plopilor Noi. The same trend can be exhibited in
recently formed neighbourhoods such as Faget, Becas,
Borhanci and Sopor.
Consolidation of the infrastructure in certain districts,

such as Dambul Rotund, Iris, Bulgaria or Someseni, led
to an autonomous process of urban renovation, while
the prices of the land and dwellings were lower than
those of the semi-central areas. Floresti, Gilau, Baciu,
Chinteni and Sannicoara-Apahida are some of the
suburban areas that developed after 1990. These areas
are not covered by our analysis, as they are not
included within the city limits of Cluj-Napoca.
