Sensience moves to the Maestro Business Center office building, in Cluj-Napoca

Sensience, a former Emerson division, bought by the One Rock Capital Partners investment fund, has leased a 386 sqm office space in the Maestro Business Center, a building located in the center of Cluj-Napoca. Advisory services for the lease transaction were provided by Fortim Trusted Advisors, a member of the BNP Paribas Real Estate Alliance.

The Sensience Cluj-Napoca team, currently made up of 24 people and in continuous development, will move this week to the new headquarters in the Maestro Business Center building, located on Boulevard 21 Decembrie 1989 – Cluj Napoca. At the moment, Sensience is in full recruitment process and is looking for finance specialists.

“Cluj-Napoca is the largest polytechnic student hub in Romania, where over 30,000 IT&C students study, more than in Bucharest. That is why employers in the IT&C fields are targeting this city. Also, Cluj-Napoca is the second largest university center in Romania, after Bucharest, if we take into account the total number of students. Cluj-Napoca is distinguished by the fact that it offers companies a significant 25% reduction in rent compared to Bucharest. This cost savings can be an attractive factor for companies looking to establish their headquarters in Cluj-Napoca. However, it is important to note that the cost reduction does not in any way compromise the premium quality of the office spaces available in Cluj-Napoca. Thanks to this balanced approach between cost and quality, Cluj-Napoca is an attractive choice for investment and business development, offering a favorable environment for the growth of organizations”, declares Nicolae Ciobanu Managing Partner – Head of Advisory at Fortim Trusted Advisors, member of the BNP Paribas Alliance Real Estate.

In addition to this advantage of a well-trained workforce, Cluj-Napoca is also a vibrant city, with international festivals during the summer and many other ways to spend your free time.

Maestro Business Center is a boutique building with modern office space spread over the ground floor and nine floors. The total area of class A office space is approximately 10,000 sqm, and the leasable area is 7,000 sqm.

The building’s tenants include Steelcase, PWC, RoPlanet, Microfocus, Global Convergence, PKF Econometrica. On the ground floor, a commercial area is provided, where the La Casa restaurant currently operates and where a service space is available.

The Sensience company chose for rent the fifth floor of the Maestro Business Center building, i.e. an area of 295 square meters, plus a terrace of 91 square meters.

The Property Management services of the Maestro Business Center building are provided by Fortim Trusted Advisors, a member of the BNP Paribas Real Estate Alliance.

The office building is located in the central area of Cluj Napoca, with direct access to the historic center, where all state institutions are concentrated, but also to the airport.
