Speedwell is preparing a new residential development in Corbeanca, near Bucharest, marking its entry into the local low-density housing segment with a lakeside project designed around green space and community amenities.
The scheme, named Glenwood Estate, is planned on a 14-hectare plot along the shore of Corbeanca Lake and is expected to include roughly 200 individual homes. The units will be delivered in several configurations, with interior areas ranging between approximately 140 sqm and 220 sqm, alongside private gardens that bring total plot sizes to over 300 sqm.
The development is being structured as a controlled-access neighbourhood, with more than half of the site reserved for landscaped areas, including both private and shared green zones. The project will also benefit from direct access to the lake, with around 700 metres of waterfront incorporated into the masterplan.
Construction is expected to progress in stages, with an initial batch of homes scheduled for completion in 2026. Early phases will focus on establishing the residential core of the project, followed by the rollout of additional community facilities.
The wider concept includes a range of amenities intended to support day-to-day living within the development, such as recreational areas, shared spaces and services for residents. Plans also include pedestrian routes and cycling infrastructure integrated into the internal layout.
Didier Balcaen, Co-Founder and CEO of Speedwell, said the company is responding to evolving expectations among buyers: “We are seeing an increasing focus on quality of life, where buyers are not only looking for a home, but for a complete living environment that integrates nature, comfort and community.”
The site is located on Tufelor Street in Corbeanca, with access to the DN1 road linking Bucharest to Ploiești, and is within a short drive of Henri Coandă International Airport. The surrounding area provides access to schools, medical services and retail facilities.
Environmental considerations form part of the development approach, with the project expected to incorporate energy-efficient systems and renewable energy solutions, alongside measures aimed at reducing resource consumption and supporting local biodiversity.
The architectural design has been developed internally by Speedwell’s FUSE Architecture & Interior Design team. The developer has been active in Romania since 2014 across residential, office and mixed-use segments.
