The Ploiesti Park is a mixed-use development that is a defined PUZ (PUD) consisting of zones for office, research, logistic (distribution centers), and light industrial facilities. The Park and Lufkin site are located north-west of the city of Ploiesti in the city jurisdiction of Aricestii Rahtivani in Prahova County.
The specific location of the Lufkin site is at the southern end of the Park along the east side of the main road through the Park connecting DN72 to DJ 101i.
