About Romania
Romania – Stable Political Environment
Occupying a prime geographical location in South Eastern Europe (SEE),
Romania is an attractive center of commerce for international companies
seeking a foothold between the flourishing economies of the European
Union and exciting developments taking place to the east.
Romania joined the EU on January 1, 2007, securing its position as
an upper-middle income country with a strong record of economic
reform. The country’s economic potential growth has generally been
among the highest in Europe, and unemployment rates are still low.
Whether drawn by extraordinary biodiversity or immense economic
potential, Romania is a highly sought-after market for global brands
and businesses.
=Romania is a unitary semi-presidential republic, since the fall of the
communist era in 1989
=Legislative power: The Parliament with the Upper House (Senate)
and Lower House (Chamber of Deputies)
=Executive power: Government & the President.
Romania’s Legacy in Bird’s Eye View
=Romania, the 2nd largest country in CEE and the 7th largest country
in European Union in terms of population and the 9th largest in terms
of area
=The most important country in the SEE, which comprises the Western
Balkans and Bulgaria
=Romania’s GDP in absolute terms has surpassed that of Hungary and
is now only exceeded in CEE by that of the Czech Republic and Poland
=The country has the potential to become the 2nd most important
market in the CEE if the current trend, of economic growth above
CEE level, will continue
=Romania is a member of NATO since 2004
=Strategic location on the crossroads connecting Western Europe
with Central Asia and the Middle East bypassing Russia.
About Bucharest
=Bucharest, the capital municipality, is the cultural, industrial, and financial centre of Romania.
=Known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards, glorious Belle Époque buildings and a reputation for the high life (which in the 1900s earned its nickname of”Little Paris”),
=Bucharest is the most economically developed and industrialized city in Romania, producing around 21% of the country’s GDP and about one-quarter of its industrial
production. In 2011, at purchasing power parity, Bucharest had a per-capita GDP of €30,700, or 122% that of the European Union average and more than twice the
Romanian average. The city’s strong economic growth has revitalized infrastructure and led to the development of many shopping malls and modern residential towers and
high-rise office buildings. In January 2013, Bucharest had an unemployment rate of 2.1%, significantly lower than the national unemployment rate of 5.8%. Bucharest’s
economy is mainly centered on industry and services, with services particularly growing in importance in the last ten years. The city serves as the headquarters of 186,000
firms, including nearly all large Romanian companies.
=Bucharest’s public transport system is the largest in Romania and one of the largest in Europe. It is made up of the Bucharest Metro, as well as a surface transport
system which consists of buses, trams, trolleybuses, and light rail. In addition, there is a private minibus system.
Welcome to AFI Park
AFI Park is an award winning office project located between 2 main boulevards: Vasile Milea Blvd. and
Timisoara Blvd., 6th district, Bucharest, Romania.
AFI Park, linked to AFI Palace Cotroceni shopping mall, features the biggest complex of retail and business
in Romania and one of the biggest in the CEE. The complex, consisting of 5 Class A office buildings totaling
65,000 sqm GLA and the shopping mall of 81,000 sqm GLA, provides the most convenient combination
of business and personal lifestyle, a work environment which meets modern lifestyle sought after by the IT
generation (“Generation Y”); an all in one efficient, time saving immediate location. AFI Park manages to
answer the expanding needs of IT&C companies in Romania by offering a suitable space in terms of technical
specifications and expansion needs within the expected timeframe, thus enjoying an exceptional high demand
by multinationals, consequently positioning the office complex as the major IT&C Hub in Bucharest.
Tenants, especially those with engineering or IT profile, are increasingly targeting the Center-West
sub-market, due to the presence of the “Politehnica” University, which is a key recruiting pool for them.
As a result, AFI Park enjoys very high occupier demand. Being regarded as one of the leading office projects in
Bucharest and the anchor project for the Center-West sub-market, AFI Park has secured a highly prestigious
occupier lineup including: Electronic Arts (US, video gaming), Endava (UK, IT), Microchip (US, IT), TELUS
(Canada, BPO), Cameron (US, oil services) and additional multinational companies.
