Thus, the future One Gallery will dedicate a space of almost 80 square meters to a museum of Ford history in Romania. The Floreasca Ford plant was the first Ford factory with an operational assembly line in Eastern Europe.
”The restoration of the former Ford factory is a particularly valuable development for the city, for the legacy of its history and for the future opportunities it creates. We aim to bring this urban landmark back to life and transform it into a modern commercial space, a true contemporary agora that will enliven cultural and social life, just as we see in major European capitals. Our stated goal is to be involved in the revitalization of the neighbourhoods in which we build, providing amenities and benefits for the entire community”, said Andrei Diaconescu, co-founder and co-CEO of One United Properties.
The historic skylight that will cover the first floor offers, through its wide openness and increased height, a diversity of unusual spaces, from very bright offices to cultural and leisure areas. Thus, One Gallery will host a multifunctional hall for theatre performances, cultural events, concerts, and conferences.
One United Properties aims to contribute to the revitalization of the Floreasca area. The multifunctional hall is intended to enliven the cultural life of the neighbourhood and attract both the locals and tourists. In addition, to celebrate the valuable history of this heritage building, the company will also set up a museum space, which will include documents of the time, archive photos and the only vintage car assembled in the former factory that still exists in Europe.
