Open-space has been the trend in the office space sector over the past years, whereas now, the focus has shifted to physical distancing between workers, per data from real estate developer Globalworth.
The new outfitting plans boosted the office space demand to 20 sqm from 10 sqm per employee, which allows changes to office space layouts, rethinking the open-space areas, the extension of kitchens, common spaces or meeting rooms and/or extending the space between the offices.
“Transactions in the last three months confirm the strong partnership between Globalworth and tenant companies. Not only did we extend lease contracts for current surface areas, but we have received numerous requests to increase the surface areas, so that the workplace can be as safe as possible. The experience of going through a pandemic has and will have a huge impact on the way of living and working; therefore, the company’s leasing team has come up with proper solutions to meet current needs,” stated Ema Iftimie, Head of Leasing Globalworth Romania.
Over the past three months, the company has leased over 25.000 sqm in Globalworth Plaza, Globalworth Campus and the building on Expozitiei Boulevard.
Adecco, Cegedim, Mazars, Sfanta Maria Clinics and Laboratories are among the companies which decided to extend lease contracts.
