The building will offer approximately 16,500 sqm of office space across ground floor and 11 upper floors, with three underground parking levels. The project has already secured a 30% pre-lease rate.

"Our latest project, Green Court D, combines state-of-the-art technology and green solutions with sophisticated and comfortable spaces, strengthening Globalworth's position as the largest business community in Romania," said Ema Iftimie, Managing Director of Globalworth Romania.

Green Court D will feature a geothermal system with 19 wells drilled at 125m depth, heat pumps, air-cooled chillers using environmentally friendly refrigerant, and air handling units with heat recovery systems. The building will include a 168 kWp photovoltaic installation, full LED lighting, and EC-motor fan coils for enhanced efficiency.

The building is targeting LEED Platinum certification along with WELL Health & Safety and Access4you certifications. During H1 2025, Globalworth Romania invested approximately €20 million in improvement initiatives across its existing portfolio to increase efficiency and reduce emissions.
