RPHI Romania (Raiffesen Property), the company that owns and manages SkyTower, has signed a five-year lease with the Embassy for 580 square meters of office space in the building.
“The Philippine Embassy reopened after 12 years of absence in Romania. We needed a new chancery that could best represent the Philippines and communicate that the Embassy is back to foster deeper and more meaningful bilateral relations between our two countries,” said H.E. NOEL SERVIGON, the Ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines to Romania.
The Embassy of the Philippines becomes the second diplomatic mission to operate from SkyTower, following the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, which has been located on the 33rd floor for nine years.
SkyTower, located near Bucharest’s Promenada mall, is the world’s first building to get the SHORE PLATINUM certification, the first office building in Romania to obtain the LEED Platinum certification for Operations and Maintenance, and it also received a Gold DGNB certification for sustainable buildings, assessed by ÖGNI (Austrian Society for Sustainable Real Estate).
Bucharest’s Sky Tower is the tallest office building in Romania, with its 37 floors and 137-meter height. Construction works were finalized at the end of 2012 and entailed investments worth over EUR120 million.
