By bringing Mindspace to our buildings, we will be able to cater to a wider universe of potential tenants and their ever-changing needs. Mindspace offers best in class flex-office solutions that are well aligned with the quality and level of service that Globalworth wishes to offer its partners, and we are delighted to play a role in its expansion"

Yotam Alroy, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at Mindspace, said: "Bucharest boasts one of the fastest-growing economies in Europe. With a population of almost 2 million people, and highly educated and talented workforce, we identified a strong demand of large global companies that are seeking to have presence in the city. By collaborating with Globalworth, Mindspace will be able to offer its leading high-end service in some of the market's most desirable locations and buildings. Globalworth has a large portfolio of prime located, high quality, class-A office buildings in the country"
