"Obtaining the occupancy permit for the first building of Stellaris Residencias marks an important milestone for Hercesa's activities in Romania in 2024, the year we celebrate two decades of presence in the local market," said Alejandro Solano, General Manager of Hercesa Internacional. "Our project near Steaua Stadium is designed for long-term development, in stages, an approach that characterizes us and demonstrates our firm commitment to Romania, which is the second-largest market in terms of development volume within Hercesa's international residential portfolio," added Alejandro Solano.
The first residential building in Stellaris Residencias comprises 129 apartments, 95% of which are already sold. In April 2024, two months earlier than initially scheduled, Hercesa started construction on the second stage of Phase 1 of the project, which will include 125 homes.
"The success of the first stage among buyers was due to both the project's features and facilities, as well as the excellent progress made on road and public transport infrastructure in the area—a great example of a successful partnership between the private sector and local authorities. This experience motivated us to begin construction on the second building in Stellaris ahead of schedule. We are progressing according to plan; the structural frame is 30% complete, and the sales level has reached 40%," explained Romeo Ghica, Operations Manager at Hercesa Romania.
Located in an area with easy access to public transport (tram 41, Parc Drumul Taberei metro), parks, educational establishments and shopping centers, the residential buildings in Stellaris Residencias will benefit from facilities such as 3,000 square meters of green spaces each, basketball courts, relaxation areas and playgrounds for children. All of these are intended exclusively for residents. In addition, the project includes the construction of road and educational infrastructure: 2.7 kilometers of streets, a kindergarten and a school with grades I-VIII.
Stellaris Residencias is the second large-scale residential project developed by Hercesa Romania in Bucharest after Vivenda Residencias and will comprise a total of 4,500 apartments. The first phase of Stellaris Residencias involves an investment of 59 million euros, will be built in four stages and will include 482 apartments.
Hercesa Romania has been operating on the local market for 20 years, bringing the experience and guarantee of over 1,000 apartments successfully delivered in the Vivenda Residencias project. Another reference project carried out by Hercesa is the Cișmigiu Hotel in Bucharest, one of the major architectural and cultural landmarks of the city. In 2012, the hotel with a history of over a century was returned to the tourist circuit and also became a cultural (Humanitas Bookstore and Cervantes Cultural Center) and gastronomic hub (Gambrinus Brewery).
