M6 Metro Line – The New Growth Engine for North Bucharest Offices

Bucharest is entering a new phase of urban transformation, and the construction of the M6 metro line, connecting Gara de Nord to Henri Coandă International Airport, stands out as one of the city’s most important infrastructure projects of the decade.

Beyond improving public transport, this line represents a strategic driver of economic and real estate development for the northern part of the capital — one of the most dynamic and competitive business areas in Romania.

A Strong Boost for the Office Market

According to recent market data, the new metro line will have a direct impact on more than 550,000 sqm of modern office space located along the Expoziției – Piața Presei Libere – DN1 – Băneasa – Otopeni corridor.

This area accounts for roughly 15% of Bucharest’s total modern office stock, underlining the crucial role that transport infrastructure plays in maintaining the city’s competitiveness.

Accessibility continues to be a decisive factor for multinational tenants. In fact, 83% of the total office space leased in 2024 was located within a short walking distance of a metro station.

Consequently, the completion of the M6 line is expected to reinforce office demand in North Bucharest, stimulate new investments, and encourage the launch of sustainable, ESG-compliant developments.

Construction Timeline and Route

The M6 line will extend over 14.2 kilometers and include 12 stations, strategically designed to connect key business and transport hubs across northern Bucharest.

• Starting point: existing 1 Mai station (M4 line), linking the new route to the current metro network
• Passing through Pajura district
• Continuing along Bulevardul Expoziției and Piața Presei Libere
• Extending via DN1, with stops near Fântâna Miorița, Băneasa Airport, Băneasa Shopping City, and Otopeni
• Final destination: Henri Coandă International Airport

1. Section 1 (1 Mai – Tokio) is scheduled for completion in 2027, while
2. Section 2 (Tokio – Henri Coandă Airport) is expected by 2028.

According to Metrorex, the future stations along the Expoziției corridor are already located within some of the city’s most active business districts — where office density is high and accessibility upgrades will bring immediate benefits.

Direct Impact on the Real Estate Market

The M6 project is poised to generate significant benefits for the local office market and the wider urban economy in northern Bucharest:

• Enhanced accessibility for tenants, employees, and visitors
• Reduced road congestion and improved commuting times
• Increased property values and land potential in proximity to new stations
• Stronger appeal to international occupiers seeking metro-connected offices
• Expansion of complementary services, including retail, hospitality, and coworking facilities

For developers and investors, the M6 line signals a new cycle of stability and predictability, encouraging new investments in energy-efficient, sustainable office buildings aligned with ESG standards.

North Bucharest – The City’s Business Powerhouse

North Bucharest already hosts some of Romania’s most advanced business parks, including @Expo, Business Garden Bucharest, Expo Business Park, S-Park, City Gate, Banu Antonache Offices, Floreasca Park, and Oregon Park.

With the M6 extension, these areas will become even more attractive for both tenants and employees, offering faster, safer, and greener commuting alternatives.

For companies planning to relocate or expand operations in the coming years, the M6 metro line represents a strategic opportunity to position themselves at the heart of the city’s future business ecosystem.

Conclusion: M6 – Infrastructure that Shapes the Future

The M6 metro line is more than a transport project — it is a catalyst for sustainable growth and urban evolution in North Bucharest.

By improving connectivity between the city center and the international airport, M6 will strengthen the competitiveness of the northern corridor and support long-term value creation for residents, employees, and investors alike.

For the office market, the M6 means greater accessibility, higher property values, and renewed investor confidence — reaffirming the northern area as Bucharest’s leading business destination.
