One United Properties and Tomcat Hospitality, a company with experience in the HoReCa field in Romania, will inaugurate the largest food hall in Eastern Europe, Marketta Food Hall, within One Gallery. The inauguration is estimated to take place in the third quarter of this year.
The developer One United Properties is currently carrying out restoration works for the former Ford Hall in Bucharest, a historic building that will be modernized and brought back into the public circuit as a sustainable mixed-use space, called One Gallery.
With an area of 6,000 sqm of indoor and outdoor spaces, Marketta Food Hall will include restaurants, terraces with over 2,000 seats, co-working spaces, a speakeasy-type members bar, 500 parking spaces and much more.
“Through Marketta Food Hall, we expect to redefine the dining experience of Romanians, but also the standards of urban consumption, being adapted to a wide range of moments, from breakfast, business meetings, after-work drinks or dinner with the family, in a very special environment,” said Cătălin Gheorghe, CEO and founder of Tomcat Hospitality.
After the restoration, the gallery will include, in addition to the unique food hall concept proposed by Tomcat Hospitality, certified office spaces, a museum area, as well as a multifunctional hall for theater performances, cultural events, concerts, conferences. The gross development value for One Gallery is currently estimated at EUR 100 million, the largest private investment in Romania in the restoration of a historical building.
