High-tech excellence

The glass facade and the atrium in the centre of the building provide ample natural light on all office floors. The internal spaces feature cutting-edge acoustic ceilings, double floors, and 3-Pipe VRF air conditioning systems that provide heating and cooling, fire protection, and emergency notification systems.

The building covers all class A requirements and is rated “excellent” under BREEAM standards. In addition to all necessary workplace amenities for employees, the eleven floors of Sofia Tech One are equipped with a new-generation microclimate management system, allowing individual settings for separate offices and rooms. This enables office space users to reduce their carbon (CO2) emissions.

Fibank is well on its way to becoming a role model

The owners of the building are the proven Bulgarian entrepreneurs Ivaylo Mutafchiev and Tseko Minev. They are majority shareholder of First Investment Bank, the largest Bulgarian-owned bank.

After its completion, Sofia Tech One became the new home of Fibank. Assisted by the high-tech features of the complex, Fibank is well on its way to becoming a role model in responsible and sustainable business.

In 2022, it began gradually shifting its electric power supply to renewable sources. Currently, up to 100% of the bank’s electricity needs throughout the country are covered by “green” sources, thereby reducing its carbon footprint from daily operations and preventing around 8,000 tons of CO2 emissions.
