After all, the crisis is beneficial in one way: real estate developers will have more time from now on to structure their projects more carefully and they have already ”started to also seek input from a manager again as they used to in 2003-2004,” Lucian Anghel, managing partner and founder of Building Support Services (BSS), one of the leading office building and logistic space management companies, said in a conversation with BUSINESS Magazin.

In his opinion, the new office buildings erected in major cities are of a lower quality than those built at the beginning the real estate boom. ”It was the rush to build and sell as fast as possible, it was the dwindling labour supply. They were erected to be sold fast,” the BSS head said without referring to any project in particular. The recent fire at the Millennium Business Center, a building whose manager BSS is, brought to the forefront again the opinions voiced by managers or consultants in this field over time, who were mentioning, off the record, problems found at some buildings in the Capital after completion.
