Bucharest needs new housing. However, the problem isn’t just the number of units
A housing stock built largely in the second half of the last century, energy and comfort standards that have changed radically, and a new supply that is not growing fast enough across all segments are once again bringing the housing crisis in Bucharest into sharp focus. Against this backdrop, REDPORT and Dan Șucu have launched INFINITY NORD, a project comprising approximately 1,200 homes in the Străulești–Dămăroaia area. Casa Magazin spoke exclusively with the founder of the Romanian real estate development group, Cosmin Savu-Cristescu, about the project, the residential market, and the capital’s need for new housing.

Străulești Could Become the New North of Bucharest
Real estate developer Redport took nearly three years to obtain the urban planning documentation and the first building permit for the 46-hectare project in the Străulești-Dămăroaia area, following the acquisition of the land from OMV Petrom in 2022. The first phase of the development is scheduled to begin in 2026. Redport and Dan Șucu officially launched…

Redport’s goal for 2036 is to become an investment platform for institutional investors, pension funds, and family offices, as well as retail investors, and to reach a market capitalization of over 1 billion euros, said Bogdan Gubandru, COO, Redport, at the ZF Office & Residential Summit 2026 conference

The residential market in Bucharest has entered a phase in which the buyer-investor is no longer the same as he was a few years ago. Whereas in the past, decisions were based on two factors—the purchase price and an estimated rent upon project completion—today the equation includes net yield, management costs, vacancy risk, tenant profile, resale liquidity, and the area’s development. It is a shift that Redport—a developer with a development portfolio worth over 450 million euros—sees firsthand in its discussions with clients.

Bogdan Gubandru, COO: “Rent and interest can offer similar returns as a percentage of the amount invested, but at maturity, the differences can be significant. The value of an apartment can appreciate, whereas money invested in securities does not appreciate.”
♦ A two-bedroom apartment in The Level Apartments II rents for about 750 euros per month, offering a gross yield of 5.6–6.9%, comparable to the 6.25–7.25% interest rates on Tezaur bonds ♦ The difference lies in appreciation: two-bedroom apartments in The Level Apartments III have appreciated by 18.5–23% compared to their initial average sale price ♦ Relative to the down payment, the return on equity can exceed 100% by the time the project is completed ♦ With inflation at 10.9% in May, the real return on fixed-rate interest is currently negative.

How the VAT increase on new homes has changed the real estate market. “People are paying closer attention to the quality of the project and the developer’s reputation.”
The increase in the VAT rate for new homes from 9% to 21% has significantly altered the real estate market in Romania, at a time when the residential sector was already being affected by inflation, high interest rates, and high construction costs. Experts consulted by “Adevărul” say that the tax measure has led to a slowdown in transactions and a shift in buyer behavior, as buyers are analyzing their purchases more carefully and placing increasing emphasis on the quality of projects, the reliability of developers, and the long-term value of their investments.
