A KEY STEP FOR PHASE II: PARTNERSHIP WITH STRABAG ROMANIA

In February, we appointed STRABAG Romania as the general contractor for the development of Phase II of the Amber Forest suburb.

In this phase, STRABAG Romania will build a residential area comprising 172 homes:

• 91 villas
• 81 apartments & parking spaces

The following types of houses will be constructed:
Urban Villa 12, Urban Villa 11, Urban Villa 10, Urban Villa 08, Urban Villa 07, Urban Villa 06, Urban Villa 03, Urban Villa 02, Symbio Villa 02, and Symbio Villa 03.

Construction will also begin on Type D apartment buildings, which will include 81 residential units across 3 separate buildings.

The selection of STRABAG Romania reflects our decision to work with a partner who has the experience, operational capacity, and quality standards required to manage a large-scale project rigorously, predictably, and under full control.

CONSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN ON THE SPORTS AND LEISURE CLUB IN THE SUBURB

Also in February, construction began on the Sports and Leisure Club – Pescariu Sports & Spa, which is scheduled to open in spring 2027.

The club will include:

• Outdoor tennis and padel courts
• Two recreational pools (for adults and children)
• A central 2,200 m² building featuring:
  • Semi-Olympic pool
  • Modern spa
  • Premium fitness club

In line with Amber Forest’s green standards, the complex will be built according to nZEB requirements and in compliance with the Platinum LEED v4.1 Cities & Communities certification achieved by the suburb.

PROGRESS OF WORKS AT THE AMBER VERITA CAMPUS

Construction at the Amber Verita campus is progressing according to plan, in preparation for the official opening in September 2026.

The building has already been erected and fitted with windows, following the established schedule to welcome the first students.

Enrollments are open, and the campus is taking shape as a landmark of the Amber Forest community, symbolizing the harmony between education, responsibly built environments, and green infrastructure.

At the Environmental & Sustainability Summit 2025, Alex Skouras, Managing Partner at Alesonor Real Estate Development, spoke about sustainability as more than green buildings or certifications — it’s about people, communities, and cooperation. “Sustainability has always been part of our company DNA. It has to do with technology, buildings, infrastructure, and what we deliver as developers or public authorities. But mainly it has to do with people, with providing the necessary education for people to understand how it should be integrated in the way they live their lives today and how they envision their children’s lives in the future.” He underlined that sustainable development is also about encouraging better lifestyles through mixed-use projects that reduce reliance on cars and provide services close to home.

“The infrastructure delivered by authorities, together with the vision and project developed by developers, should go hand in hand, but unfortunately, this does not happen very often,” said Alex Skouras, Managing Partner of Alesonor Real Estate Development, at the ZF Residential & Office Summit. “Regarding site selection, I have to say that Bucharest has something truly unique. It has no physical limits. Many other cities, similar cities, and other European cities around it have physical boundaries, such as the sea or mountains. As a result, those cities develop within those limits, and there is a stopping point.”

Alex Skouras, Managing Partner at Alesonor, reflected on over two decades in Romania’s property development, emphasizing the critical role of community in successful projects. “To truly comprehend the market, we must always zoom out and see the bigger picture; it’s about understanding not just the building, but the community we are shaping,” Skouras stated. “Our greatest advantage has been engaging with thousands of families, learning about their real needs, and investing in quality developments that prioritise sustainable, integrated neighbourhoods over sheer numbers.” Skouras detailed how developments like Amber Gardens pioneered green, community-driven projects outside Bucharest’s centre, advocating for open, connected neighbourhoods rather than exclusive, gated compounds.
