Cathedral Plaza Bucharest

Cathedral Plaza is since 2005 under construction high-rise office building in the historic center of the Romanian capital Bucharest. The 19-story building is 75 m high.

The building permit from 2000 is controversial in its legality. For opponents of the building is the Cathedral Plaza, which is produced in ten meters distance next to the Catholic St. Joseph's Cathedral, a symbol of the destruction of the after the communist era in the historical center of Bucharest remaining historical building ensemble in favor of wealthy investors. They also point to the high earthquake risk in the region. After a construction freeze in 2008 were eventually canceled in the following year, it came in July 2009 at a protest march with 6,000 participants from the Joseph Cathedral of the government building at Victory Square.

The Court of Appeal in Suceava decided on 12 July 2011 in the last instance that the property " Cathedral Plaza" had been built illegally and needed to be demolished. Responsible for the demolition is the Mayor of Bucharest, Sorin Oprescu.
