"The buildings with very good locations, in central areas, served by public transportation and especially by metro stations remained the most attractive for tenants. It is not an accident that the most visible office buildings, as Charles de Gaulle Plaza or Bucharest Tower Center were chosen by the companies looking for representative offices, which reconfirms the prestige of these tenants as well as their position as employers on the local market", says Andreea Paun, associate director within the office department of Colliers.

 

There were also tenants that chose budget oriented solutions, in secondary areas such as East, Pipera or West. "Even in the case where concessions were made regarding the zone or the public transportation absence, the companies which chose to relocate their offices in the most quality buildings in the area – Swan Office & Technology Park, North Gate or Global City in Pipera, disputed for the “attention” of several players from the automotive and technology sectors. AFI Park, in Western part of the city, was chosen by some important tenants from the IT&C field as the best solution to attract the labour from the campuses of Politehnica and for the multiple advantages of the project – the mall vicinity, easy transportation, the building’s quality and efficiency", Andreea Paun added.
