The Esplanada City Center was supposed to be a future multifunctional city center in Bucharest situated on the Unirii Boulevard not far from the Palace of the Parliament. Esplanada would have been used for shopping, living, working and leisure functions integrated into a mixed-use urban community.
The Romanian state approved the Esplanada City Center Project at first. TriGranit was to start construction works on the Esplanada Project in the second half of 2009. The government approved this project by allowing a Private-Public Partnership. The entire project was to become property of the Romanian state after 49 years of partnership, and at the end of the partnership TriGranit would have the option to buy the complex. Nevertheless, this whole project was cancelled in 2011.
