King is currently headquartered in a building close to Vitan area. Here, it reached around 70 employees and lacked further space for expansion. Thus, in the new office, near the Eroilor Square, King wants to reach 110 employees by yearend.
“King did not have the necessary space to expand in the current headquarters so that starting last summer mulled office market options. In early 2014, it signed the contract for a 1,700-sqm space in Opera Center and relocation will take place until April,” stated Andreea Paun, an associate director with Colliers International, the firm that handled the deal.
Opera Center is an office project held by Austrian real estate investment firm CA Immo. King rented a space previously filled by Huawei group, so that Opera Center regained an occupancy level of almost 100%, according to CA Immo officials.
King opened an office in Bucharest in 2011 and operates on the domestic market through King Games Studio. The company’s Bucharest employees handle the development of games such as Bubble Witch Saga and Candy Crush Saga.
