<blockquote>
<p>”One Technology District, an office and research lab campus built to the highest standards of sustainability, is the kind of project that confirms the attractiveness of the local market for global players. It is developed based on cutting-edge sustainable principles that will allow the building to operate completely gas-free, thus positioning it among the most sustainable developments in Europe. One Technology District aims to be the largest semiconductor research and development centre in South-East Europe. This investment is a confirmation for the potential of the Romanian market and supports our strategy to focus on the development of fully leased and pre-leased green office projects”, said <strong>Andrei Diaconescu, co-CEO One United Properties</strong>.</p>

<p>One United Properties is developing this modern office hub for Infineon Technologies, a Frankfurt Stock Exchange-listed company and world leader in semiconductors. The developer has already started construction works, and One Technology District is the first office project in its portfolio without a gas connection: the development will benefit from a geo-exchange system that will fully cover tenants' heating and cooling needs and minimize environmental impact while maximizing efficiency. This innovative approach not only significantly limits the carbon footprint of the building, but also allows for the elimination of conventional heating systems, thus creating additional recreational space for Infineon employees. The building will also be equipped with rooftop solar panels and heat recovery units. All these modern and sustainable systems, as well as LEED Platinum certification, will ensure outstanding energy efficiency.</p>

<p>One Technology District represents the first turnkey development in the local office market since the pandemic and the first to be signed for a 15-year term. The deal totals EUR 57 million (excluding VAT) and represents one of the largest pre-let agreements ever recorded in the local office market.</p>

<p>One Technology District is located in the Dimitrie Pompeiu area of Bucharest, which is traditionally an office area, well connected to public transportation and the metro station, close to shopping and leisure facilities as well as the A3 highway. In addition, this office hub will offer 280 parking spaces.</p>
