Embassy of Saudi Arabia moves to iconic Dorobanti building

The Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Bucharest recently relocated its official headquarters to an iconic building in the Dorobanti area. The transaction was advised by the real estate consultancy company Cushman & Wakefield Echinox.

The new building is located in one of the exclusive parts of the city, benefitting from easy accessibility and great exposure.

Completed in 2022, the property has an area exceeding 3,500 square meters spread over five levels, including a spectacular terrace that offers a panoramic view of Charles de Gaulle Square. The custom-made interiors and technical features of the premise were designed to the highest standards imposed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They are also in compliance with the technical and security needs of a diplomatic mission.

“It has been a great honor to manage to fulfill another benchmark transaction in a landmark location, to work closely for the Embassy and its representatives, and to identify the premises that perfectly meet the requirements imposed by the official regulations of the ministries involved in the approval process, and the specific needs of the local Embassy,” said Raluca Plavita, Director Residential Agency, Cushman & Wakefield Echinox.

Ms. Plavita has not only assisted the company to find the right place to meet the Embassy requirements, but she also coordinated the entire process of customizing the building, implementing the requested security works, and the entire relocation process, making sure that all needs were fulfilled,” said representatives of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia.
