BCR becomes the largest tenant of Business Garden Bucharest
Bucharest, august 2019: Banca Comerciala Romana (BCR), member of Erste Group, will move its Romanian headquarter in 2020, in a 14.000 m2 space, in Business Garden Bucharest, becoming the largest tenant of the second project owned by Vastint Romania. The project has been delivered, already having an occupancy rate of 65%.
Business Garden Bucharest office complex, LEED Platinum pre-certified, is the first project with such a green concept in Romania and the sixth in a series with the same name developed by Vastint in several cities in Europe. The project comes with a unique setup, attention to details not only regarding the office areas, but also the outdoor scenario, with a great accent upon creating a pleasant work environment.
BCR will relocate its operations from its existing HQ on Calea Victoriei.
Elke Meier, CFO BCR: “With its modern design and sustainable approach, Business Garden Bucharest was the right choice for us, as we are continuing the consolidation process of our central operations started with the relocation to The Bridge. The vast green areas, with pedestrian alleys and recreational activities, combined with the diverse offer of services and facilities from Vastint and the proximity to our other HQ were the main ingredients that have convinced us of choosing Business Garden Bucharest as the best option for our 1.000 colleagues which will move there next year”
Antoniu Panait, Managing Director Vastint Romania: „Business Garden Bucharest is the first of its type that we deliver in Romania, a high-quality working environment with great accent on the surrounding landscape and mix of facilities, and we are very pleased that BCR has decided to join our community. Working upon the ideal tenant mix, BCR is the perfect match, with a tech-oriented vision and great care for the employees. Business Garden Bucharest comes with an abundance of amenities in the area – such as highly convenient public transport connection, educational centers, hospitals, shopping centers.”
Located in the Central-Western Bucharest business district, at the junction of Calea Plevnei and Basarab overpass, also adjacent to the well-established Carrefour Orhideea Shopping Gallery, the complex includes three class A office buildings with a total leasable area of almost 43,000 m2, with public and commercial services available on the ground floor. The buildings are surrounded by an interior garden that represents 30% of the total area, pedestrian walkways with benches and Wi-Fi facilities for recreational activities. Business Garden Bucharest has a spacious parking, that also includes bike parking, lockers and showers for the cyclists.
