Bucharest, April 21, 2026 – RBJ – PPF Real Estate today announced the completion of the top floor of ARC Office Experience, a €70 million project investment in Bucharest. The topping out marks a key milestone in the development of a project that is redefining the standards of the office market in city. It will be the first building without natural gas used for heating, is LEED Platinum certified, and it outperforms the nZEB standard.
The project, scheduled for delivery at the end of the year, has a leasable area of 30,000 sqm, distributed across two underground levels, a ground floor, and ten upper floors, with approximately 3,000 sqm per level. On the ground floor, retail spaces: restaurant, specialty coffee and exclusive gym bring energy to the ecosystem of ARC Offices.
“For us, a valuable office building is not just one that looks good, but one that works well for the people who use it. Beauty comes from clarity and the way every decision has a purpose. Not only the technical ones, but also those related to the well-being of people who choose to work from the office. For example, one of the central elements of the project is the green oasis spanning on 2,500 sqm, which occupies nearly a third of the site. It is not just a decorative feature, but a space that people can use to relax, exercise, or even work outdoors, bringing a more balanced rhythm to the workday.” said Juraj Sastinsky, Investment Director at PPF Real Estate.
Easy access from both the city and surrounding areas
The location of ARC Office directly addresses one of the city’s biggest challenges: commuting time to the office. ARC is located next to Basarab station, with quick access to the metro (M1 and M4, 300 meters away), tram, bus, and train, and is just 2.5 kilometers from the city center. Basarab Railway Station provides fast connections to key suburban areas: Mogoșoaia can be reached in approximately 10 minutes, and Buftea in about 20 minutes. Access from other parts of the city is also convenient, with travel times of around 30 minutes.
Amenities include 336 underground parking spaces, expandable to 422, electric vehicle charging stations, facilities for cyclists, and a mobile app that makes daily use of the building easier.
More than an office: a people-centered space
The ARC office building is not only easily accessible, but also conceived differently: a 100% electric building, methane free, LEED Platinum certified and aligned with the nZEB standard, meaning lower consumption, reduced emissions, and a healthier working environment. The climate control system is quiet and efficient, while the air is 100% fresh. Smart systems, together with photovoltaic panels and heat pumps, optimize energy use without compromising comfort.
The design of ARC is also distinctive. The building’s shape features fluid lines, creating a unique atmosphere inside, where the space seems to envelop you. The exterior is cohesive, while the interior remains flexible: each tenant can organize their space without compromise. At the same time, the building eliminates external noise and is designed to withstand a high seismic level, ensuring it remains functional even under extreme conditions.
