PPF Real Estate announces the ground zero of the construction works for the ARC office building in Bucharest. Currently, the execution of the superstructure is underway, and the completion of the building is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026. The total investment in this project is estimated at EUR 70 million. The ARC building will offer a leasable area of 30,000 square meters, distributed over two underground levels, a ground floor and ten floors. The project is designed to operate without the use of natural gas for heating, complying with nZEB (nearly zero energy consumption) standards and is set to obtain LEED Platinum certification for sustainability. The project will include commercial spaces on the ground floor, an area dedicated to restaurants, a fitness room, convenience stores and a 2,500 sqm urban forest, which will cover almost a third of the land area. "We have reached ground zero and are continuing to develop at a sustained pace. ARC is taking shape and we are one step closer to delivering a project that truly puts people at the center. We set out to build more than just an office space, we want to offer a modern, sustainable place, adapted to the real needs of users. Each stage is thought out responsibly, with attention to detail and a firm commitment to quality and the future," said Juraj Sastinsky, Investment Director, PPF Real Estate.
