CBRE, leader in the real estate consultancy market, was assigned to provide property management services for the projects developed by the company One United Properties in the north of Bucharest, namely the office building One Tower and the residential complex One Mircea Eliade, which comprise a total area of 24,000 square meters offices and 247 high-end apartments. The portfolio managed by CBRE exceeded 800,000 square meters, reconfirming its leading position in the property management market.
Part of the One Floreasca City project, One Tower is located in the northern area of Bucharest and has 16 floors, with a total leasable area of 24,000 square meters. The office building is under development and is due to be delivered in the second quarter of 2020.

"Our wish is to redefine the classic real estate developments through the Flex Well Tech concept: flexible spaces, which facilitate access to green areas and offer a variety of services for the health and well-being of employees, built according to the latest technological standards. We aim to offer an experience for the office tenants and for the residential clients above expectations, and therefore we decided to appoint a property manager early on, from the construction stage”, explains Mihai Paduroiu, CEO, Office Division, One United Properties.
"Our partnership with One marks a double premiere: on the one hand, it started from the execution stage of the projects to make the subsequent operation of the buildings more efficient, and on the other hand, it includes services for the residential segment, to ensure an experience as enjoyable as possible for the community that develops around these projects. We are excited about the opportunity to manage the projects developed by One as it is a powerful model for future developments, where you can find multiple functions that complement and support each other in the same place”, stated Valeriu Toma, Deputy Head of Property Management, CBRE Romania.
