Prime Kapital to start new resi phase in Iași mixed-use project

Business Forum
Prime Kapital will start in Q4 2025 the construction of a new multi-phased residential project as part of the Silk District mixed-use complex in Iași.

The new project will be developed in four phases, featuring in total 1,250 apartments. It will complement existing residential units delivered in the Silk District.

A key highlight of the complex is its innovative construction technology, with 99% of facades precisely modeled from concrete and cast directly on-site. This method significantly reduces settling effects, enhances durability, simplifies maintenance, and creates lighter, more ecological structures. Coupled with high-performance mineral wool insulation, this ensures year-round energy efficiency.

The complex will also include six interior gardens, with a total planned surface of around 1.2 ha.

Aside from Iași, the company has developed residential projects in Bucharest and Ploiești.
