Optim Project Management Delivers General Design and Technical Services for the New Hornbach Store in Timisoara

Optim Project Management announces the successful completion of its work on the newly opened Hornbach store in Timisoara, the company’s second opening in Romania within the past month.

For this project, Optim Project Management provided technical due diligence, general design, permitting and technical assistance during the construction phase. The store, officially opened last week, represents a new benchmark in sustainable retail development.

The new Hornbach store is located on a 55,000 sqm site and features a total built area of over 19,000 sqm, divided into 8,200 sqm of indoor retail space, 5,000 sqm Drive-In area, 5,800 sqm garden section. The store also offers 570 parking spaces.

In line with Hornbach’s commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, the building integrates a range of green technologies, including photovoltaic panels, heat pumps, full LED lighting, advanced ventilation with heat recovery systems and high-performance insulation.

In recognition of these measures, the building has achieved DGNB certification (German Sustainable Building Council), one of the most rigorous international standards for sustainable construction.

The project also places a strong emphasis on landscaping and biodiversity, with over 12,000 sqm of green space, 200 trees, 1,200 shrubs and perennials and 9,000 sqm of flower meadows, all maintained through an automated irrigation system.

This opening follows the recent launch of Hornbach’s new store in Colentina neighbourhood, Bucharest, where Optim Project Management delivered EPCM services, encompassing technical due diligence, general design, permitting, project management, cost management and site inspection.

“The Timisoara and Colentina projects demonstrate our ability to deliver complex retail developments that combine functionality, efficiency and environmental awareness,” said David Evans, CEO of Optim Project Management. “Both projects reflect a shared commitment to quality and sustainable growth.”

With this latest collaboration, Optim Project Management continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner in delivering large-scale retail and commercial projects across Romania and the wider region.
