One Gallery will include multifunctional hall for theatre performances, cultural events and museum
One United Properties is currently carrying out restoration works on the former Ford Hall in Bucharest, which will be modernized into a sustainable mixed-use space. After restoration, it will open under the name One Gallery and will include, in addition to modern offices and a unique food market concept, a museum area that will celebrate the history of this building. The historic skylight that will cover the first floor offers, through its wide openness and increased height, a diversity of unusual spaces, from very bright offices to cultural and leisure areas. Thus, One Gallery will host a multifunctional hall for theatre performances, cultural events, concerts, and conferences.
With the commercial concepts launched within One Gallery, One United Properties aims to contribute to the revitalization of the Floreasca area. The multifunctional hall is intended to enliven the cultural life of the neighbourhood and attract both the locals and tourists. In addition, to celebrate the valuable history of this heritage building, the company will also set up a museum space, which will include documents of the time, archive photos and the only vintage car assembled in the former factory that still exists in Europe.
”The restoration of the former Ford factory is a particularly valuable development for the city, for the legacy of its history and for the future opportunities it creates. We aim to bring this urban landmark back to life and transform it into a modern commercial space, a true contemporary agora that will enliven cultural and social life, just as we see in major European capitals. Our stated goal is to be involved in the revitalization of the neighbourhoods in which we build, providing amenities and benefits for the entire community,” said Andrei Diaconescu, co-founder and co-CEO of One United Properties.
