Spanning 6,000 sqm, the food hall located within One Gallery will feature restaurants, terraces, co-working spaces, a speakeasy-style bar, and ample parking. The opening is planned for Q3 2025.

The gross development value for One Gallery is currently estimated at €100 million, which is the largest private investment in Romania in the restoration of a historic building.
