Charles de Gaulle Plaza, Office high-rise in Charles de Gaulle Square, Bucharest, Romania
Charles de Gaulle Plaza is an office building with 17 floors of glass and steel that rises 70 meters above the city. The structure includes five underground levels with 350 parking spaces, making it a substantial commercial complex in the central area.
Construction began in 2003 and the building opened officially in 2005, marking the completion of both underground and above-ground sections. This opening reflected growing changes in downtown Bucharest's architecture during the early 2000s.
The Romanian Order of Architects recognized the building's architectural excellence in 2005, establishing new standards for commercial architecture in Romania.
The building is easy to access with abundant parking available in underground levels for both visitors and workers. Quick elevators move between floors efficiently, making navigation through the structure straightforward.
The building uses a reinforced concrete core with steel frames and K-shaped braces that allowed underground and above-ground sections to be built at the same time. This structural approach was notable for speeding up construction in the city.
