Henkel Signs Lease at Equilibrium 2 in Bucharest

Henkel has signed a lease for space at the Equilibrium 2 building, a business hub located in the Barbu Vacarescu-Floreasca area of Bucharest.

The transaction was facilitated by iO Partners, and Henkel, which developer Skanska describes as “a global leader in both industrial solutions and consumer goods (hair care & personal care products, detergents, laundry & home care products, adhesives, sealing and functional coatings),” is expected to complete its relocation by the third quarter of 2025.

“Equilibrium 2 is more than just an office space; it’s a place where companies can grow, collaborate, and develop in harmony,” said Tamara Guleryuz, Leasing & Asset Manager at Skanska. “We are delighted that Henkel has chosen to join our community. This decision reaffirms our strengths, which include our expertise and experience, our commitment to sustainability, effective collaboration and communication, and our focus on safety. Henkel’s move enhances Equilibrium 2’s diverse tenant mix and significantly contributes to building a sustainable community grounded in shared ESG principles. We are excited about this partnership and look forward to working closely with Henkel on this wonderful journey.”

Completed in December 2022, Equilibrium 2 features a rentable area of 19,600 square meters, consisting of 11 floors above ground and 228 parking spaces. The building certified LEED, WiredScore Platinum, and Access4You Silver.

Earlier this week, CEE Legal Matters reported (here) that Skanska had signed an agreement to sell the first phase of the Equilibrium office complex to Gordiusz Private Equity Fund, managed by Granit Asset Management
