NBI and HILS Development partner on HILS nord residential project

According to the company, through its collaboration with HILS Development, the HILS Nord project has been incorporated into North Bucharest Investments’ portfolio, strengthening its presence in the residential market of northern Bucharest—one of the city’s most dynamic real estate areas, thanks to infrastructure development and proximity to key business hubs.

Meeting Market Demand
According to Vlad Musteață, CEO of North Bucharest Investments, the project fully addresses current market demand for modern, energy-efficient homes in areas with strong growth potential. The collaboration with HILS Development also provides investors and buyers with access to a high-quality development project guided by a clear urban planning philosophy.

Project Overview
HILS Nord spans approximately 10 hectares and, upon completion of all phases, will include 2,705 apartments. The first phase is already underway, covering about 35,219 square meters and comprising four buildings with a total of 1,200 apartments.

Each building will feature two underground levels, a ground floor, ten upper floors, and an additional recessed floor for duplex-style maisonettes. Approximately 42% of the total area will be dedicated to green spaces, aiming to create a more sustainable and high-quality urban environment for residents.

The first phase will include 1,117 underground parking spaces across two levels, along with 323 above-ground spaces. Buildings will feature ventilated facades for improved energy efficiency and thermal comfort, two energy-efficient elevators per building, and direct access from floors to underground parking.

Outdoor spaces will include a 16,500 m² urban park and a 4,200 m² amphitheater-style park with shaded walkways, pedestrian paths, and dedicated areas for nature observation.

Sustainability and Green Certification
The project has received pre-certification GREEN Homes from the Romania Green Building Council and is designed to meet nZEB (nearly Zero Energy Building) standards, aiming to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. Features include air-to-water heat pumps, photovoltaic panels for common areas, underfloor heating systems, and heat recovery units.

Green areas will be maintained through a circular irrigation system and landscaped following Xeriscaping principles, a sustainable approach that reduces water usage and maintenance needs.

Residential Offerings
HILS Nord will offer a wide range of units, from studios and two- or three-bedroom apartments to three- and five-bedroom maisonettes. Ground-floor apartments will feature private gardens, while maisonettes will include spacious, usable terraces.

Northern Bucharest continues to attract strong investment interest due to infrastructure development, high demand for modern housing, and proximity to business centers and corporate offices. Projects that adopt sustainable and energy-efficient building standards are particularly appealing for both owner-occupiers and investors.
