Description
The Globalworth Tower in Bucharest, formerly known as Bucharest One Tower, is Romania's second tallest building with a height of 118 meters. It is currently only towered by the Sky Tower of the Floreasca City Center, less than 200 meters away. Globalworth Tower was the first building in Romania to be awarded the LEED Platinum Certificate - the highest certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The site is located in Barbu Vacarescu, the new business centre in the northern part of Bucharest. With a total of 27 storeys, including three basements with 638 parking spaces, one ground floor and 23 upper storeys, a total of 48,732 square meters of high-quality office space will be provided. The ground floor houses a supermarket, a canteen, a café, numerous restaurants and a flower shop. Construction of the building began in 2014 and was completed within just 20 months in 2015 for a total of EUR 60 million.
The all-glass façade was realised as a structural glazing façade in which the glass elements are held in place by gluing in the load-bearing system. Each of the 2,510 insulating glass panes is fixed by ten brackets specially developed for this façade. The CLIMAPLUS COOL-LITE® KN 166 II and COOL-LITE® ST 136 solar control glasses were used for the glazing. The manufacturing processes with several metal coatings based on clear glass give the high-quality façade glass extreme durability.
