Construction
Strabag Romania has been selected by the developer and investor PPF Real Estate as the general contractor for the construction of its new office property, The Arc. The investment will bring a ten-story, class A office building to the 6th District of Bucharest.

The Arc will offer 30,000 sqm of office space, strategically located near the Basarab metro station, in one of Bucharest’s commercial districts. Positioned at the western end of the extended city center, The Arc is set to become a key asset in an area that is fast emerging as a core business hub for the city. Construction is scheduled for completion in 2026.

To ensure the highest efficiency and precision, we will be utilizing advanced BIM processes throughout the project. This approach allows us to integrate data-driven decisions at every stage.
Johann Poelzl, Civil Engineering Technical Director at Strabag Romania

The Arc will provide a range of amenities, including underground parking for over 300 vehicles, charging stations for electric cars, facilities for cyclists, and ample storage space. Additionally, the building will feature its own recreational garden, available for tenants and visitors.
