Optim Project Management has been appointed to handle project management, cost management, site supervision and health and safety coordination on Abito Pipera, a EUR 28 million, 150-apartment residential development underway at 14C Bucuresti-Nord Road, in one of Bucharest's fastest-growing residential areas, Pipera.
Abito Pipera is developed by HUBIX in partnership with NEXO Group, with NEXO Instalconstruct serving as the building company on the project, in one of Bucharest's most active residential submarkets. The development comprises 150 apartments across two buildings, with a gross built area of 19,625.58 sqm on a 5,000 sqm plot. The buildings are configured with two basement levels, a ground floor, six upper floors and a seventh, setback level.
The development will offer 198 parking places across three levels: 84 spaces on the second basement level (80 standard places plus 8 spaces served by four Klaus automated parking-lift systems), 88 places on the first basement level and 26 places at ground level.
Beyond housing, Abito Pipera will include commercial spaces, green areas, a children's playground, promenade areas, a running track and a bike path running the full length of the development.
The project is designed to nZEB standards, with a focus on resident comfort and controllable running costs. The development will have heat pumps for heating and cooling, with underfloor heating and fan-coil cooling throughout.
“We've worked on residential projects across Romania before and Abito Pipera is a good example of what that experience is for. There's a lot to keep track of on a job like this, 150 apartments, individual heat pumps, underfloor heating, automated parking. Our job is to make sure all of it comes together properly, on budget and on time,” said Radu Andrei, Operations Manager at Optim Project Management.
On Abito Pipera, Optim provides project management, cost management, site inspection and health and safety coordination throughout construction, supporting delivery of the development to the standards set out in the design.
