Portland Trust has announced a WELL Health-Safety certification for the Expo Business Park office project în Bucharest


“We are delighted to have gained international recognition for our facilities operations and our commitment to prioritizing the health and safety of our tenants, visitors, and staff. EXPO Business Park was designed and constructed to provide a healthy environment for its users with 100% fresh air provision, opening windows to provide purge ventilation and anti-bacterial materials so our tenants can also have confidence that the operations of the buildings match the physical specifications”, says Robert Neale, Managing Director of Portland Trust.

EXPO Business Park provides 40,000 sqm of net office space located in the center-north of Bucharest. The development comprises three buildings over two levels of underground parking. The project has rooftop solar panels to heat hot water for the buildings, touch-free access, LED lighting throughout, vehicle recognition technology, cycle racks, and shower facilities. 

J8 Office Park, which will also be supplied by green energy,  is currently Portland Trust’s largest project under construction and is also destined to receive the WELL Health-Safety certification, in addition to BREEAM Outstanding. Bog’Art, the general contractor, will finalize the construction this summer.
