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.

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 70,000 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.
