We will witness new office markets taking shape as part of the challenge to balance Bucharest in terms of urban planning and traffic flows by the delivery of a number of important office projects such as Green Gate, Green Court, City Offices and AFI Park 2 and 3. Given the increased activity of our clients, the local management decided to reinforce the office department, by acquiring one of the most experienced managers in Romania. With the appointment of Maria Florea’s as Head of Office Agency division (, Jones Lang LaSalle aims to cover the needs of the office market on both fronts: tenants and owners. By doing so, JLL is now the only real estate consultant that has two distinct office agency divisions. In this way we guarantee the confidentiality and business ethics through exclusive representation of only one party in a transaction", Marius Scuta concluded..
