ManpowerGroup, a leader in creating and providing innovative workforce solutions, leased 1,063 square meters in The Light One office building, developed and owned by River Development. The relocation process was assisted by Crosspoint Real Estate. ManpowerGroup joins companies such as CTP, Regina Maria Medical Clinic, Kinetic, ON Semiconductor or Sweat Concept in the building.
“It is a strategic move for ManpowerGroup, in the newest real estate development pole, the western part of the Capital. We are glad that we were able to support an important player in the recruitment area and find together the best office solution for his activity.”, said Florina Grosu, Senior Account Manager, Crosspoint Real Estate, the broker who handled the transaction.
The new ManpowerGroup Romania headquarters meets all the requirements of the company that aims to expand the business, and the very well connected area will help easy access both for the company’s employees and for candidates looking for new jobs.
“The office space in The Light One building, best met our requirements, the quality of the location and of the building itself will ensure better office conditions for internal employees, clients, associates and candidates, offering a much better workspace, more spacious, modern and comfortable as well. That will enhance the collaborative model approach and allow a stronger efficiency in our structure. The Politehnica area was also an additional argument for us, by the nature of our operations on the local market, as we want to expand our business and The Light One building is placed in the new emerging business pole from Bucharest, being developed in the last two years. Our new premises will have a good visibility from Iuliu Maniu Boulevard and an excellent access to public transportation system, as the existing infrastructure is highly developed, including buses, trams and underground lines, ensuring an easier access from everywhere in Bucharest and surroundings.”, says Horațiu Vasilescu, new ManpowerGroup Romania Managing Director.
The Light One is the first of the three Class A office buildings in the entire mixed-use office & residential project – The Light. The building has a leasable area of 21,653 sqm (GLA) and a height of 11 floors – 2S + GF + 11 floors. The building is BREEAM certified with the Excellent grade. “We are glad that ManpowerGroup Romania is joining all the other top companies, already moved to The Light One. The advantage of excellent positioning, in an area accessible by all means of public transportation, but also the flexibility in compartmentalizing the necessary space were the most important criteria that ManpowerGroup had in mind in the choice they made.”, Ioana Mușat, Leasing Manager at River Development completed.
