Business Center Veliko Tarnovo (BCVT) is an innovative multifunctional building that brings together contemporary office spaces, a congress center, sports areas, and relaxation zones - all designed to support successful businesses and their employees. The project was developed in partnership between IPA – Architecture and more and the investor Business Center Veliko Tarnovo Ltd.
BCVT offers flexible office solutions that can be configured to meet the needs of individual tenants. The building enables the creation of up to 96 zones with independent microclimate control. In addition to private offices, it also features a shared workspace with 30 workstations that can be rented on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
The Congress Center at BCVT includes six conference halls, the largest of which accommodates up to 500 people. The backstage area is equipped with technical rooms and dressing rooms, while the spacious foyers in front of the halls are designed to comfortably host all event participants. The business complex also features a fitness center with a large swimming pool, a group training hall, outdoor terraces for relaxation, and a dedicated childcare facility.
BCVT provides a broad range of additional services and amenities, including a self-service restaurant, catering services, a car wash, a room for receiving and dispatching courier shipments, and a storage facility offering pallet spaces and archive containers for rent. A fully operational data center for colocation is also available on-site, with a capacity of up to 80 server racks.
The project places strong emphasis on energy-efficient technologies and the creation of an environmentally responsible working environment. The building is equipped with a heat pump HVAC system connected to a closed-loop geothermal installation. To enhance indoor comfort, the design includes underfloor heating and high-efficiency heat-recovery ventilation units.
All required electricity is sourced entirely from renewable energy, certified for origin. Rainwater is collected in three tanks with a total capacity exceeding 300 sq.m, part of which is used for the building’s technical needs. Constructed on the footprint of previous buildings, the development incorporates a significant percentage of recycled materials. A small landscaped park is situated at the rear of the complex.
The two-level parking facility provides 230 car spaces, 600 spaces for bicycles and mopeds, as well as charging stations for electric vehicles.
BCVT is located in the western part of Veliko Tarnovo, in a strategic position at the city’s entrance from Sofia, near football fields, a tennis complex, and retail facilities.
The project received an award in the “Regional Development” category at the Building of the Year 2023 national competition and represents a new era in creating modern work environments where functionality, comfort, and sustainability come together. With its innovative solutions, prime location, and extensive range of amenities, the development sets new standards in contemporary construction and business space management.
