About the area
The area, at a glance
Centre-West developed around the Politehnica university hub and the Grozăvești interchange, with modern office projects on Splaiul Independenței. The area offers good metro access and a pool of technical talent trained by the universities. It is a lower-priced alternative to the city's established north.
History
The area was part of Bucharest's industrial belt, with platforms such as Ventilatorul and Titan Mar on Șoseaua Orhideelor and in Grozăvești. The campus of the Politehnica University of Bucharest long predated the office boom, and the Politehnica metro station opened on 19 August 1983, on the Eroilor-Industriilor section of the M1 line.
The Bridge 1 (36,808 sqm) was delivered in 2017, followed in 2018 by Orhideea Towers, twin Class A towers with 37,000 sqm GLA. The Bridge 2 (21,271 sqm) and The Bridge 3 (21,171 sqm) completed the business park in 2019 and 2020, at almost 80,000 sqm, LEED Platinum certified. In Q1 2023, the Politehnica-Orhideea-Cotroceni submarket overtook Floreasca-Barbu Văcărescu by stock (614,000 sqm versus 589,600 sqm), becoming the largest in the city.
