U Center 3 takes shape: construction of the third phase has begun

Forte Partners has commenced construction works on the third phase of the U Center project, located on Calea Șerban Vodă, in the Tineretului area. This new phase completes the concept of a mixed-use development that combines modern office spaces, retail functions, and residential units, further consolidating U•Center as one of the most attractive business parks in Bucharest.

A Comprehensive Project Designed for the Future

Phase Three will add approximately 14,800 sqm of modern office space spread across six floors, featuring generous terraces and flexible layouts suitable for companies of various sizes. The ground floor will include over 1,500 sqm of retail space, designed for convenience services and proximity retail.

U Center 3 is designed to meet the highest standards of sustainability and occupant wellbeing. The building aims for WELL Core & Shell Platinum certification—an international benchmark that integrates best practices in design and construction with evidence-based interventions for health and comfort. WELL-certified spaces are designed to enhance the well-being of their users by promoting a healthy lifestyle and minimizing exposure to harmful factors.

Additionally, U-Center 3 (Building C) targets LEED Platinum and GRESB certifications and has already obtained Access4you Design Gold pre-certification, reaffirming the developer’s commitment to creating green, energy-efficient, and inclusive buildings. LEED Platinum certification recognizes excellence in energy efficiency and resource conservation, while GRESB evaluates ESG (environmental, social, and governance) performance, encouraging transparency and accountability. Furthermore, through Access4you certification, the project ensures full accessibility for people with diverse needs—from wheelchair users and individuals with reduced mobility to the visually impaired and hard of hearing.

The delivery date is estimated for November 2027.

The development will also include a residential component, set to start in 2026, comprising 194 modern apartments. This addition will complete the vision of an integrated urban ecosystem where people can work, live, and enjoy amenities all in one place.

A Strategic Project in a Market with Limited Supply

In a market context where new office deliveries are scarce, U•Center 3 stands out as a strategically valuable project for companies seeking office space for lease in Bucharest. According to an ESOP market report, 2024 recorded the lowest level of new office deliveries in the past two decades, with only one Class A building added to the market.

Forecasts for 2025 also indicate a modest supply of new spaces, primarily concentrated in boutique buildings or reconversion projects. In this context, companies planning relocations or expansions face a limited number of options, increasing interest in projects currently under development, and offering significant advantages for those opting for pre-leasing.

Competitive Advantages for Tenants

U Center C is designed as a modern business park with high sustainability standards, green certifications, and energy-efficient technical solutions. The spaces are flexible and can be customized for various workplace models—from open-plan offices to collaborative or hybrid layouts.

Located in the Tineretului area, the project benefits from excellent connectivity: the metro station and multiple public transport lines are just a few minutes’ walk away, while the nearby park provides a pleasant and balanced environment for employees.

Conclusion

In a dynamic yet supply-constrained market, U•Center 3 positions itself as a solid opportunity for companies looking to lease office space in Bucharest—within a modern, efficient, and sustainable environment. With completion scheduled for November 2027, the project offers the chance to secure space in advance in a business hub that redefines the way we work and live in the city.
