Liberty Technology Park Cluj is a project developed by Fribourg Development, the Real Estate Division of Fribourg Capital owned by the businessman Ion Sturza.
The technological park Liberty Technology Park Cluj is situated on a generous surface, more than 45,000 square meters, close to the city center of Cluj-Napoca, strategically placed in an uncrowded area of the city, with excellent accessibility to public transportation facilities. The first two phases of the project seek the ingenious reconversion of the former Libertatea furniture factory and require an initial investment of 20 million euros.
Designed on the site of the former furniture factory Libertatea, Liberty Technology Park Cluj reinvents its identity by reinterpreting the industrial heritage and transforming it in an environment designed to fulfill the needs of a company from the IT&C and R&D industries. Architecturally the development follows the reconversion of the existing spaces into a technological park that will reflect the energy of the tech companies driven by the human potential that Cluj-Napoca has to offer.
Liberty Technology Park Cluj is the first technological park in Romania, a concept designed to
connect companies and people from similar domains in an interdisciplinary approach that will
generate innovation and progress in the IT&C and R&D industries. The intention of such a project is to promote economic development and competition amongst neighboring regions and cities by creating new jobs based on contemporary technologies while boosting in the same time standards of the working environment and the life of the employees.
Liberty Technology Park Cluj announces its chief contractor, chosen after a thorough selection and a project auction: CON-A. CON-A is a group of firms with a full Romanian capital, private, founded in march 1990. At the present time, CON-A is the most important constructor from Sibiu and of the first in Romania. The firm’s portfolio includes Cluj Arena alongside the Ramada Hotel in Sibiu and the Center of Business Sibiu.

This phase will be delivered at the end of the 4th trimester of this year and it implies the reconversion of the existing buildings in office spaces, class A, BOMA, a coffee shop and a restaurant offering a total of 8772 sq m. In this phase the green areas will also be restored. The first tenants will also enjoy our events & conference rooms, a fitness gym, multifunctional sport terrains, parking lots, bike racks and playgrounds, all at a small distance from the city center and its main objectives. Alongside office spaces, Liberty Technology Park Cluj also offers the complete range of services and facilities but also the first business accelerator in Romania.
The sales campaign has begun in February and is at the present moment in full swing, the proprietors are carrying negotiations with major multinational companies. The second phase of the project responds to the market’s demands with its large spaces, over 2600 sq m per floor. The investors estimate that the first tenants will move in at the beginning of 2014. Liberty Technology Park Cluj is situated near the International Airport and close to the City Center, offering a location fit for any kind of activity.
Liberty Technology Park Cluj’s services and facilities are addressed to companies from the IT&C and R&D industries, both locally and internationally.
