Globalworth, has announced the signing of a lease contract for Globalworth Square. Wipro, a global information technology, consulting and business process services company, will become the main tenant of the most technologically advanced office building in the Globalworth portfolio. The leasing transaction will amount to a total area of 11,000 sqm and it was brokered by Griffes.
“The most frequently asked question in 2020 was about how we see the office of the future in the post-COVID-19 era. We are answering this question now by introducing Globalworth Square, an ambitious project of ours, based on smart efficiency technology. The trust that Wipro has given us by expanding our collaboration confirms that we bet correctly when we decided to build the office of the future. We put technology first and we use it to streamline the experience for the community. The fact that our main tenant in the first energy-producing building in our portfolio is a leader in technology motivates us to continue to build intelligent assets and to offer real solutions to current situations. The leasing process is in full swing and we have a series of discussions for the 17,000 square meters still available”, said Ema Iftimie, Head of Leasing at Globalworth Romania.
“Wipro has a longstanding commitment to social and environmental responsibility, leading a wide range of successful sustainability efforts, including a net zero target. We are also a founding member of the Transform to Net Zero coalition which aims to accelerate the transition to a Net Zero emissions global economy. The design and technology used in Globalworth Square are in line with our initiatives in environmental sustainability. Also, I believe this new home & HQ for our Romanian teams will be the ideal platform to help us grow even further and strengthen our position in the market”, explained Vivek Bakshi, Country Manager for Wipro Romania.
Located in the Barbu Văcărescu area, between Globalworth Plaza and Green Court, both owned by Globalworth, the building has a total rental area of approximately 28,000 sqm and includes 14 floors of office space, 3 levels for underground parking, and the ground floor will be designed for facilities such as a restaurant and various retail options.
Although it will be a hub based on smart efficiency technology, Globalworth Square will come with a contrasting and yet architecturally complementary look, and its façade will be pencilled with vintage accents. At present, the structural frame and the façade are done. The building will be fully completed in the second half of 2021 and it is in the BREEAM pre-assessment phase for obtaining BREEAM Outstanding green accreditation.
