Business Forum
Local property developer Sema Real Estate has launched pre-sales for the first phase of its Sema Home residential project in central-western Bucharest.

The development represents the company's entry into the residential market and forms part of Sema Parc, described as Bucharest's most extensive urban regeneration project. The first phase requires an investment of nearly €55 million and will deliver over 300 apartments designed for sustainable urban living.

"With the launch of Sema Home, we are opening a new chapter in the evolution of the Sema Parc development while officially entering the residential market," said Lucian Grosaru, CEO of Sema Real Estate. The project aims to balance premium standards with accessibility, setting new benchmarks for urban living in Bucharest.

The development follows the "15-minute city" concept, providing residents with walking access to shops, offices, medical facilities, restaurants, schools and green spaces. Petrache Poenaru metro station is located nearby, with direct connections to major city arteries.

The first phase includes a five-staircase building with 301 apartments, each offering 20% more space than market average. All bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, while apartments include underfloor heating, LG air conditioning systems and Smart Home technology. The project holds Breeam certification and all buildings meet Nearly Zero Energy Building standards.
