ESOP rents the first space in the Sky Tower to AMADEUS
ESOP Consulting | CORFAC International breaks the ice. It brings the first tenant from outside the group of companies affiliated to the developer in Sky Tower, the tallest building in Romania. Starting with August 15, Amadeus Marketing Romania, part of the international group Amadeus, a world-leading company in the field of advanced technological solutions for the travel industry, operates in the headquarters of Sky Tower, located on the 19th floor.
Amadeus chooses an office space with an area of 366 sqm, on the only floor with a distinctive shape of space, which enjoys a unique panorama, overlooking both Barbu Vacarescu Boulevard, Baneasa – Dimitrie Pompei area, and the entire area Floreasca.
“We wanted a representative headquarters for the name Amadeus, in the center-north area, a space with high comfort for the company’s employees, all this of course in terms of financial competitiveness that the current period imposes on any company. We found in Sky Tower the best value for money and our choice was somehow natural “, says Razvan Antoni, general manager of Amadeus in Romania.
Sky Tower is the tallest office tower in Romania and the reference project in the Barbu Vacarescu area, the new “Business District” of Bucharest, after entering the attention of some important developers in the last three years, becoming the most dynamic office area.
“We welcome the opening of Sky Tower in the development of dedicated service packages targeting companies with medium surface needs, in addition to packages with large surfaces. Currently, Sky Tower is one of the most attractive office solutions for companies looking for a space starting with 300 sqm. It can be rented areas arranged on at least a quarter of a floor (one floor has about 1,200 sqm). In recent months, we have had a series of consultations with the developer to identify these companies’ real needs. We are glad that we found openness to implement many of our suggestions, thus creating a highly efficient headquarters solution for companies with needs between 300 and 1,200 sqm”, declares Alexandru Petrescu, Managing Partner of ESOP Consulting | CORFAC International.
“We believe that Sky Tower currently offers competitive rents and maintenance costs, which is why ESOP Consulting is in talks with several potential tenants for office space in Sky Tower, with areas between 300 and 5,000 square meters,” said the ESOP manager.

About Sky Tower
The tallest office tower in Romania (137 meters and 37 floors) is developed by Raiffeisen Property International, which owns commercial properties in 13 countries in the region and has successfully implemented 30 standard projects on the European office space market.
A lesser known aspect of Sky Tower, beyond the investments in the image and premium quality of the spaces, is that the developer paid particular attention to the practical side and financial comfort of future tenants. Thus, “energy consumption will be low, as evidenced by the certification received from two specialized institutions, LEED and EVERYONE, and the air conditioning system is designed at the maximum partitioning density of the space and not the minimum, as in the case of most of the buildings are even of the latest generation, an advantage is the air conditioning system with 100% fresh air supply, regardless of the number of partitions. Basically, in Sky Tower was taken into account the scenario of partitioning the space in the smallest possible way, creating rooms of approx. 15-17 sqm and equipped with air intake and extraction units. This translates for the tenant in the almost complete elimination of the costs of adaptation / additional air conditioning, costs that represent an essential amount in the total fit-out investment in a new building “, declare the representatives of the company that developed Sky Tower.
The surfaces available for rent are flexible, being between 300 sqm and 30,000 sqm.
The location is also excellent. Sky Tower is located in the Barbu-Vacarescu area, the new business district of Bucharest, with complete transport infrastructure for metro, bus, tram. Sky Tower is located near the Aurel Vlaicu metro station and the future Promenada Mall, which will be used in October this year.
