Cushman & Wakefield Echinox assisted Kinstellar in the office relocation to Globalworth Tower

Cushman & Wakefield Echinox real estate consultancy company assisted Kinstellar throughout the entire process of relocating its Bucharest office to Globalworth Tower, providing consultancy services for the sale of the firm’s former headquarters in the city center, while also offering project management assistance for the setup of the new office space.

Kinstellar’s decision to relocate came in the context of a significant expansion of its team, following the acquisition of Noerr’s operations in Romania. This expansion required a space that could accommodate the entire team in a modern, efficient office, meeting the highest technical and sustainability standards.

This complex process began in 2024 and was completed at the beginning of this year, a process which required the involvement of 3 different departments within Cushman & Wakefield Echinox.

Victor Constantinescu, Managing Partner of Kinstellar România: “With our recent team expansion, we felt the need for a space that reflects Kinstellar’s growth and dynamism. Our new location in Globalworth Tower offers us not only more space, but also a modern working environment. This is a natural step in strengthening our presence on the Romanian market and continuing our development as a top law firm. With the integration of Noerr’s operations, we have also expanded our range of services with a new division dedicated to tax, financial and state aid consultancy.”

The Capital Markets team, represented by Mihaela Pană (Partner Private Investments) provided consultancy for the sale of the historical building previously owned by Kinstellar. Located in the ultra-central area of Bucharest, near Calea Victoriei, it served as Kinstellar’s headquarters for over 17 years. The decision to relocate was driven by the significant growth of the team, with the management opting for a larger and more efficient space.

Mihaela Pană, Partner Private Investments Capital Markets Cushman & Wakefield Echinox: “Unlike most law firms in Romania, Kinstellar was the long-term owner of this remarkable villa. Selling such properties can be challenging due to their listed-building status and, in this case, the need to time the transaction with Kinstellar’s integration of Noerr team as well as the relocation to the new space. I am pleased that we found a buyer and the perfect solutions to coordinate all these aspects. Located in the immediate vicinity to Calea Victoriei, a highly dynamic area undergoing significant transformation, the property represents a unique investment opportunity due to its location, architecture and structure. It includes a refurbished and well-preserved historical villa, along with a modern office building seamlessly integrated into the area’s architectural landscape.

Monica Vasile (Director Office Agency) and David Stănescu (Senior Broker Office Agency) provided strategic consultancy in identifying the best solution for the office relocation, working closely with Kinstellar’s representatives in order to find a space which would support both the operational needs of the expanded team and the high standards of design and efficiency desired by the firm.

Monica Vasile, director Office Agency Cushman & Wakefield Echinox: “Kinstellar needed a larger office which is more efficient and has the best technical and sustainability specifications. The challenge was to find a space which could meet all these requirements while also being located in a landmark building. This multidisciplinary approach allowed us to optimize every stage of the relocation process.”

Rareș Mușat (Project Manager), Sorina Schedlinscky (Architect) and Andrei Ianculescu, (Head of Project & Development Services) were part of the team responsible for conducting the technical analysis of the buildings considered during the selection process for the new headquarters. They ensured that the new space met Kinstellar’s operational needs as well as its design and functionality requirements.

Rareș Mușat, Project Manager Cushman & Wakefield Echinox: “The Project & Development Services team played a crucial role in transforming the new space in Globalworth Tower into an ideal environment for Kinstellar’s operations, by efficiently coordinating the fit-out process. Through the careful management of all stages – from planning & design to project completion – the team contributed to cost and time optimization, ensuring a seamless transition and a workspace perfectly tailored to the tenant’s requirements.

Kinstellar leased 2,000 sq. m in Globalworth Tower, a landmark building located in the Floreasca – Barbu Văcărescu area, one of Bucharest’s most important business hubs.
