Bucharest, August 2019: StreamWIDE, a company specialized in the software and telecommunications industry, realocates its office in Bucharest in the Timpuri Noi Square project, joining the new IT hub created in the business park developed by Vastint Romania.
StreamWIDE leased a 730 sq. m space in the third building of the project, the transaction being brokered by the Cushman & Wakefield Echinox real estate consulting company. After completing this building, the Timpuri Noi Square project reaches a leasable area of over 50,000 sq. m, with an overall occupancy rate of over 90%, more than half of the space being leased by companies from the IT industry.
Eduard Turcoman, Director, Office Agency, Cushman & Wakefield Echinox: “StreamWIDE chose to relocate to Timpuri Noi Square because the management understood that the space itself is a way of attracting and retaining IT talent. The employees’ comfort will be enhanced by the advantages offered by the technical features specific to a class A building, the attractive retail offer, consisting of Downtown Biutiful and Carnivale Food Market restaurants, but also through its position near the city center. This transaction reconfirms Timpuri Noi Square’s position as the new major IT hub in Bucharest.”
Roxana Vesca, HR Manager, StreamWIDE: “We build complex software solutions, used by major telecom operators and Public Safety entities around the world, with millions of end users. We are involved in platform optimization and, as we develop our business, the facilities that we offer and the IT teams also develop in the most advantageous location.”
StreamWIDE is a company founded in 2001 by a team of French engineers, which has been active on the local market for almost 15 years, with the office in Bucharest involved in R&D operations and support. An established leader of Value Added Telecommunication Services for telecom operators and secure and digital communications platforms for the Public Safety industry, StreamWIDE assists these entities with Mission Critical Communication (MCX: MCPTT, MCDATA, MCVIDEO), voice messaging, convergent charging and intelligent routing. The company is headquartered in Paris (France), with branches in Romania, USA, Tunisia, China and several sales offices.
