AFI Europe Romania has completed the refurbishment of all public areas within its AFI Lakeview office building in Bucharest following an investment of around €2 million. 


The project has a leasable area of 25,000 sqm and is certified as a green building. During the past year, the developer has installed a professional air purification system and updated the design of shared areas such as corridors, elevators, and bathrooms in a bid to provide a fresh experience to employees resuming office work. 

“Our tenants are the most important to us and by performing this refurbishment, we are striving to welcome all those who step over the threshold of AFI Lakeview in a safe, clean, and modern space that fosters, creativity, collaboration, and productivity,” said Emma Toma, Head of Office Division AFI Europe Romania.
