The future tenants include several IT&C companies, among which Ortec Central and Eastern Europe, the regional subsidiary of the Dutch company by the same name.
“We expect pre-letting rate to reach 50% by yearend,” said David Hay, chief executive officer of AFI Europe Romania.
The two buildings will also accommodate a 350 square meter Italian restaurant, Tratoria Uno, and a coffee shop, Tucano Café (150 square meters), a brand introduced in Romania by Moldovan entrepreneur Ruslan Cojocaru.
The two office buildings scheduled for delivery in January will have a gross lettable area of 32,000 square meters. Once the two new buildings completed, AFI Park’s office space will reach 70,000 square meters, enough to accommodate about 7,000 people at an average of 10 square meters per person. The employees working in the five buildings will help boost traffic in the shopping center, which now stands at 52,000 visitors/day on average.
