E.ON Business Services Cluj, one of the largest employers and most active players in the business support services field in Cluj-Napoca will relocate to a new office space in Record Park, the mixed-use project developed by Speedwell and owned by AYA Properties Fund. With the fit-out and preparations now finalized, Record Park is ready to welcome E.ON in their new state-of-the-art office, a space meticulously designed to cater to their specific needs and ambitions. Griffes real estate advisory, through Andreea Paun, mediated the office leasing transaction.
E.ON Business Services Cluj, part of the German group E.ON, one of Europe’s largest operators of energy networks, was established in Cluj-Napoca in 2012, with the aim of providing high-quality accounting and financial services to the internal customers of the E.ON Group around the world.
E.ON’s office space is a true embodiment of the company’s vision to change the workplace environment. What was once a classic workspace has been thoughtfully transformed into a dynamic and collaborative design that fosters creativity, innovation, and synergy among its employees. The newly designed office boasts numerous collaborative areas strategically integrated throughout the workspace. These spaces serve as hubs for idea-sharing, brainstorming sessions, and team discussions, promoting a culture of collaboration and open communication. From cosy breakout zones and relaxing terraces to modern meeting rooms equipped with the latest technology, every element has been carefully curated to inspire teamwork and enhance productivity.
Record Park, known for its modern and dynamic workspace environment, aligns perfectly with E.ON Business Services Cluj’s vision to offer cutting-edge energy solutions while fostering a collaborative and inspiring workplace culture. The new office space has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate the company’s evolving needs, promoting seamless communication and greater synergy among teams.
“We are delighted to announce the successful completion of our new office in Record Park. This marks a momentous occasion for E.ON Business Services Cluj as we step into a new era of growth and progress. Record Park’s exceptional amenities and strategic location perfectly complement our commitment to innovation and customer service. We eagerly anticipate the boundless opportunities this new workspace will bring to enhance our services and employee experience,” said Stefan Balster, Managing Director of E.ON Business Services Cluj
Record Park is the first mixed-use development project in Cluj-Napoca, offering 15,000 sqm of office space and 236 apartments, anchored by leisure and recreation facilities, a convenience store such as Mega Image, the new Bruto bistro and a kindergarten.
“Witnessing the completion of E.ON’s office fills me with great pride. Our vision for Record Park was to create a space that fosters innovation and collaboration, and this office perfectly aligns with that vision. It is truly gratifying to see how this space has transformed into an environment where they can excel in delivering top-notch energy solutions. I am excited to see E.ON’s team thrive in this dynamic setting and eagerly anticipate the positive impact they will make in the energy industry from their new headquarter,” commented Didier Balcaen, CO-Founder and Partner of Speedwell
Speedwell has announced installing photovoltaic panels for two of its office projects: Record Park in Cluj-Napoca and Miro in Bucharest. The company plans to improve the properties in its own portfolio and transform them into buildings with a higher degree of sustainability. The addition of these panels not only reduces its carbon footprint but also provides a cost-saving solution for its tenants.
The new tenant occupies two consecutive floors amounting to 3,500 sqm office space. “The office is truly state-of-the-art, boasting cutting-edge design and modern amenities that align perfectly with E.ON’s commitment to innovation and excellence. It has been an exciting journey to witness the transformation of this workspace into a dynamic environment that will undoubtedly inspire E.ON’s team and elevate their service offerings to the next level,” said Andreea Paun, Managing Partner of Griffes, the consultant of the parties in the transaction.
Record Park Offices was successfully finalised and delivered in 2020, hosting the headquarters of MHP Consulting Romania, a subsidiary of Porsche AG and the US insurance company MassMutual, among others.
Record Park Offices are BREEAM certified with an Excellent rating. The BREEAM certification reconfirms Speedwell’s high-quality standards and commitment to delivering unique and sustainable projects. The project also offers a great accessibility and parking tool that allows visitors and permanent users to use the indoor parking facility of the compound and pay per use, hence facilitating access in a usually crowded centre area, whilst optimizing facility costs.
Currently, Record Park Offices is owned by AYA Properties Fund, a Belgian-based real estate investment fund with a focus on real estate assets at AAA locations in South-Eastern Europe.
