United Business Center 3 in Timișoara has become the only LEED ‘Platinum’ certified office building in Romania outside Bucharest and the third one in the country.
UBC 3, which forms part of the Iulius Town Timișoara mixed-use complex (formerly known as Openville) developed by Iulius Group, has been awarded LEED ‘Platinum’ for core and shell with a score of 88, after being assessed in such categories as access to alternative transport, energy performance and the quality of the construction materials used. The UBC 2 office building within the same complex has also received a LEED ‘Gold’ certificate.
UBC 3 was completed in 2019. Together with UBC 1 and UBC 2, the three buildings have a total leasable office area of 50,000 sqm. Iulius Town Timișoara is being built in an investment of €442 million by Iulius Group and South African investor Atterbury Europe. The tallest building in Romania at 155m, UBC 0, is currently under construction. It will have 27 floors and a leasable area of 52,000 sqm.
