“While Bucharest residents have shown general interest in new homes over recent years, today’s selection criteria are becoming more sophisticated. Living quality, developer reputation, and access to infrastructure weigh increasingly in the purchase decision. Theodor Pallady exemplifies this trend, as its residential developments and infrastructure investments continue to attract more buyers,” added Daniel Crainic, Marketing Director at Imobiliare.ro.

The real estate developer, Redport, has reported record financial results for the first 10 months of 2024.

Infinity Nord I – Pre-sales and pre-leases were valued at an estimated EUR 20.7 million. The project attracted interest for 106 apartments, with more than half being two-bedroom units, and one-quarter being three-bedroom units. Most of these purchases were made for investment purposes.

The Level Apartments III – A total of 75 units were sold, amounting to EUR 10.8 million. Two- and three-bedroom apartments were the most sought-after, followed by studios and four-bedroom units. The project attracted an equal share of investors and end-users.

WIN Herăstrău residential project expands

WIN Real Estate begins construction and WIN Brokers launches sales for the last building in the WIN Herăstrău residential complex, located in the Şoseaua Nordului area of the capital. The new building will have a limited number of 50 apartments and commercial spaces.

Given inflation, the war in Ukraine, the post-pandemic effects, the unpredictability of logistics chains, the more careful construction authorization process in Bucharest and other factors, the cost of construction works has increased significantly. To counterbalance these pressures and facilitate access to a wider category of customers, apartments in the new building will be able to be purchased in two ways: a) in the classic system, the full price of the apartment and the land on which the construction is located is paid; b) in a system inspired by Western Europe but for the first time on the Romanian market: the full price of the apartment is paid and the adjusted price of the land on which the construction is located will be paid over a period of 30 years.

The developer anticipates the completion of construction works in February 2027.
