The two tenants leased a total area of 780 square meters, joining financial consulting, PR and marketing or construction companies already present in the building.

We are proud to be able to offer a modern space, with multiple facilities, in the center of the Capital, the building being easily accessible from all areas of the city both by car and by numerous means of public transport.”
