We are proud and thankful to our client for the opportunity to assist in this matter.” says Oana Bădărău, Partner and Head of the Real Estate & PPP practice at PeliPartners.
First built during the communist regime, Casa Radio is a staple in the urban landscape of Bucharest. The first phase of the project consists of the development of a mixed-use project that includes an office building and a shopping mall.
