"The plan to renovate and transform the office building into a modern, high-quality, sustainable property, adapted to the premium myhive concept, characterized by flexibility, will supplement the public space by creating a green terrace, which will become a point of attraction for the city and residents ”. The renovation works will start immediately after obtaining the authorizations, respectively in the second half of 2022, their completion will take place in 2024.

We are glad that we found in IMMOFINANZ a partner with such a vast experience on the Romanian market and the ability to continue the development of this emblematic building ", said Michael Werner, Real Estate Management Executive Director of BCR.
