Increased Demand for Office Spaces

EXPO 2027 will gather delegations from over 100 countries, numerous companies, media outlets, and international organizations. This concentration of activity and investment will lead to increased demand for modern office spaces, both from foreign companies entering the Serbian market and domestic firms wanting to be at the heart of the action.

Even now, international companies are showing growing interest in leasing office space in Belgrade, especially in areas well connected to the upcoming EXPO site in Surčin, as well as established business hubs such as New Belgrade, Airport City, Savada, and locations along the E-75 highway.

Development of New Business Infrastructure

Preparations for EXPO include the construction of new transport and utility infrastructure—high-speed rail, road expansions to Surčin, new traffic arteries, public transportation, and the development of the EXPO complex spanning over 270 hectares. This development opens up opportunities for new investments in office buildings, logistics centers, and coworking spaces, which will ultimately expand the market’s supply and diversity.

EXPO as a Catalyst for Change

EXPO is more than a temporary event—it acts as a catalyst for urban development and investment acceleration. As seen in other cities that have hosted international exhibitions, EXPO is expected to encourage the renovation of existing office spaces, the adoption of green and energy-efficient solutions, and the standardization of business premises in line with global trends.

Who Will Benefit the Most?

The biggest gains will be made by owners of high-quality office spaces, developers who can anticipate market trends and position their projects in time, and tenants who recognize the strategic importance of EXPO for their operations. Additionally, the coworking industry—already seeing rising demand in Belgrade—is expected to benefit significantly.

Long-Term Market Effects

The market won’t slow down after 2027—EXPO’s legacy will be far-reaching: better connectivity, modern infrastructure, stronger international company presence, and most importantly, an office space market ready for the next phase of growth.


EXPO 2027 is more than a global showcase—it is a strategic opportunity that is already reshaping the real estate landscape in Belgrade. For the office sector, it marks the beginning of a transformation that will position Belgrade as a leading business hub in Southeast Europe.
