FM newsroom – office development, sustainability, Romania. One United Properties, the leading green investor and developer of residential, mixed-use, and office real estate in Romania, announces the start of construction works for One Technology District. The project will host the largest semiconductor R&D centre in Southeast Europe, operated by German giant Infineon Technologies, a Frankfurt Stock Exchange-listed company and a global leader in semiconductors.
Planning for 15 years ahead
One United Properties has obtained the building permit and can begin the construction of the turn-key office building, which integrates cutting-edge energy-efficient technologies.
One Technology District will serve Infineon’s needs for 15 years starting in 2026. The total contract value is €57 million (excluding VAT) and represents one of the largest pre-lease agreements ever recorded in the local office market.
A development without a gas connection
This is One United Properties’ first office project without a gas connection. The development will include a geo-exchange system that will fully cover the tenant’s heating and cooling needs, minimize environmental impact, and maximize efficiency.
This innovative approach not only significantly limits the building’s carbon footprint but also allows for eliminating conventional cooling systems, thus creating additional recreational space for Infineon employees. The building will also have rooftop solar panels and heat recovery units.
Located in the Dimitrie Pompeiu area of Bucharest, One Technology District building will respect sustainability principles, incorporating the latest technologies and materials, geo-exchange and special structural features, and LEED Platinum certification.
Due delivery: 2026 Q2
“The collaboration with Infineon Technologies (…) is a confirmation of Bucharest’s status as a highly attractive market for international companies that understand the value of sustainable construction, a performing market in this office segment as well. We are moving forward with this project with the building permit and taking the first steps in the development of our first office building based exclusively on the geo-exchange system, completely eliminating any gas connection and dependency. All these cutting-edge systems offer extraordinary energy efficiency, positioning the building at the forefront of sustainable office developments in Europe”, – emphasized Mihai Păduroiu, CEO Office Division One United Properties.
The agreement involves the construction and leasing of office spaces with a gross lettable area of 20,595 square meters (with terraces), including 3,000 square meters of laboratories and 280 parking spaces. Delivery is estimated for the second quarter of 2026.
