E.ON Business Services Cluj relocates offices in Record Park project

E.ON Business Services Cluj will relocate their offices to Record Park, the mixed-use project developed by Speedwell, and owned by AYA Properties Fund. Griffes real estate advisory, through Andreea Paun, mediated the office leasing transaction.

E.ON Business Services Cluj, part of the German group E.ON, one of Europe’s largest operators of energy networks, was established in Cluj-Napoca in 2012, with the aim of providing high-quality accounting and financial services to the internal customers of the E.ON Group around the world. The center grew constantly, towards the current headcount of 600 people, selected for the linguistic and technical skills, specific to the financial domain. After 10 years of operation, taking into account the evolution of market requirements and the adoption of a hybrid work style, E.ON Business Services Cluj decided to relocate to Record Park, seeking an improvement in conditions for employees.

“I am really happy that we have been able to find the new home for EBS Cluj in Record Park. After 10 years of successful development and growth in Amera Tower we are now coming to the City Center, we are happy to offer our people all the advantages of a modern office in direct neighbourhood to the heart of Cluj. Coming to Record Park is for us an essential part of our strategy for the next years, I am deeply convinced that only if we are able to offer our people such a great environment, we found the basis for stability and further growth,” said Stefan Balster, Managing Director E.ON Business Services Cluj

Record Park is the first mixed use development project in Cluj-Napoca, offering 15,000 sqm of office space and 236 apartments, anchored by leisure and recreation facilities, convenience shopping stores such as Mega Image, the new Bruto bistro and a kindergarten.

“E.ON Business Services Cluj demonstrates through their relocation the value of a proper work-life balance, by having their employees work in a mixed-use development, that not only holds many amenities in the project itself but is also in close vicinity to the existing urban fiber of Cluj. We are convinced the E.ON Business Services Cluj staff will add positively to the positive vibe of Record Park”, stated Didier Balcaen, CO-Founder and Partner of Speedwell

The new tenant will occupy two consecutive floors amounting to 3,500 sqm office space. “Record is a vivid ecosystem, offering inhabitants a better life-work balance and that was what attracted E.ON Business Services Cluj as well. The new tenant reconfirms the value of the compound and the efforts of the developer to maintain it. As Griffes, we are happy we could contribute to the never-ending effort of improving the tenant mix. At the same time, a blue-chip occupier identified the best solution to their needs”, stated Andreea Paun, Managing Partner of Griffes, the consultant of the parties in the transaction.
