Cluj gets 6m-euro office development

The Cluj-based real estate developer Omniconstruct is to allocate around 6 million euros to the construction of what will be the city”s first class A office building. The project is scheduled for completion in 2006. The building will be located in central Cluj on 21 Decembrie 1989 Boulevard and have a built area of around 10,000 square metres and 100 parking spaces. The “Maestro Business Center” building will be a three-winged structure, with 8, 7 and 4 stories, respectively, surrounding an inner courtyard. The building will be equipped with electronic surveillance and alarm systems, air conditioning, security and intercom systems, as well as an IT network, fast lifts, night time illumination, an automated access barrier, fireproofing and anti-theft systems. The builder and owner of this project is Omniconstruct. The project is being promoted by the Cluj firm Grup de Lux. “Regarded as a whole, the office space market in Cluj is divided between investors that prefer to erect their own buildings and that of the buildings built before 1989, subsequently renovated and now used for different purposes than originally planned. As to the construction of office buildings and business centres, the Cluj market is poorly represented, and so-called class A offices exist only by restricting ranking criteria, as much as possible,” the company says.
