Alesonor and Strabag begin second phase of resi project near Bucharest

Business Forum
Alesonor and Strabag Romania have started construction work for the second phase of the Amber Forest suburb in Tunari, near Bucharest. 

Developed on 31 hectares with only 15% built surface, the project obtained Leed Platinum certification under the v4.1 standard for communities: Planning and Design, becoming the first residential project in Europe to reach this standard.

In the second, Strabag Romania is constructing a residential area that will include 172 homes, comprising 91 villas and 81 apartments with parking and a total built area of over 23,000 sqm. The suburb will benefit from modern infrastructure and complete facilities, including sports and recreation areas, a school, kindergarten and afterschool programmes, an outdoor cinema, commercial area, office hub, medical services, and parks and green spaces covering 5.3 hectares.

"Starting work for the second of Amber Forest, alongside Strabag, marks the next step of a development already validated in practice, within a community where over 300 homes are already delivered, most of them already inhabited," said Leonidas Anastasopoulos, Co-founder and Managing Partner, Alesonor. "All homes currently under construction are and will be individually tested for air tightness before delivery, with results consistently below the 1.5 n50 threshold, reaching values as low as 0.6."

"We use digitalised processes for 3D modelling, progress tracking based on the model and defect management directly in the model. In parallel, we apply Lean Construction principles for efficient planning, waste minimisation and clear site organisation," added Bogdan Mărginean, Technical Subdivision Manager Strabag Romania.

From the total of 690 planned residential units, 580 have been sold and approximately 300 have been delivered. The project includes green homes with complete facilities and extensive green spaces.
