Deutsche Bahn rented 2,000 square meters in Hermes, after settling for Bucharest, following an audit of the major cities in the region earlier this year. The services center will largely provide support to the financial department.
“We rented out an entire floor of 2,048 square meters to Deutsche Bahn, which took the occupancy of the first building in the Hermes Business Campus to 100%,” Sven Lemmes, country manager of Belgium’s Atenor, the developer of the Hermes BC, told ZF.
As a result, Atenor started construction work on the second building of the complex.
The Deutsche Bahn deal includes more than the already rented space and will be completed in several phases, Lemmes added, without elaborating further.
As the operations of the center develop, Deutsche Bahn will rent more space in the second Hermes BC building.
Normally the 2,000 square meters are enough for 200-250 people working in a services center like the one developed by Deutsche Bahn.
Albin Budinsky, the executive who runs the Romanian subsidiary of freight carrier and logistics operator DB Schenker, part of the Deutsche Bahn group, said the group would develop a financial services center, which will operate independently.
Deutsche Bahn officials did not provide additional information about this services center by the time the story was ready for posting.
