Alesonor, a company with 23 years of experience in developing sustainable residential communities in Romania, announces the appointment of STRABAG Romania as general contractor for the construction of Phase II of the Amber Forest suburb, located in Tunari, Ilfov County.

In Phase II, STRABAG Romania is building a residential area that will include 172 homes, of which 91 are villas and 81 are apartments with parking and a total built area of over 23,000 square meters. Site organization will begin in February, and construction work will start immediately thereafter. The types of homes to be built are Urban Villa 12, Urban Villa 11, Urban Villa 10, Urban Villa 08, Urban Villa 07, Urban Villa 06, Urban Villa 03, Urban Villa 02, Symbio Villa 02, and Symbio Villa 03, designed to meet modern housing requirements, with an emphasis on functionality, energy efficiency, and harmonious integration into the community. Construction work will also begin on the Type D apartment buildings, comprising a total of 81 residential units distributed across three separate buildings.

„Amber Forest is a complex and highly responsible project that requires rigorous standards and careful coordination at every stage. Each phase is designed as part of a coherent whole and developed in accordance with the LEED Platinum certification we have obtained under the v4.1 standard for communities: Planning and Design. Our collaboration with STRABAG Romania as part of Phase II reflects our shared commitment to excellence in construction and to partnerships with companies that understand the complexity of building a community, not just individual homes. As the residential market in Romania continues to mature, demand is increasingly shifting towards projects that offer complete infrastructure, relevant facilities, and an authentic community-centered living experience. The partnership with STRABAG, a company renowned for its experience and quality standards, allows us to move forward in a controlled and predictable manner, fully in line with Amber Forest’s long-term vision,” said Leonidas Anastasopoulos, co-founder and Managing Partner of Alesonor.

„As the general contractor for Phase II of the Amber Forest suburb, STRABAG Romania brings experience in technical coordination, structured planning, rigorous planning, and precise execution to a large and complex project. We focus on delivering the project in line with sustainability goals, quality standards, and deadlines. We value partnerships with clear expectations and shared responsibility for long-term performance. Through this collaboration with Alesonor, we are contributing our construction experience to the creation of a harmonious and well-planned community, an integrated, sustainable, and functional living environment,” said Alexandru Popescu, Technical Business Unit Manager at STRABAG Romania.

Amber Forest Suburbia offers a wide range of housing types, including over 20 types of villas with at least 3 rooms, as well as more than 14 types of studios and apartments, designed to meet diverse needs and lifestyles. Prices for the 3-room green villas currently available start at €331,000 + VAT, and for the 2-room green apartments start at €165,000 + VAT.

To date, 270 units have been delivered out of a total of 580 sold, out of 690 available.

Amber Forest is a sustainable community built on the principles of the „15-minute city,” offering easy access to all essential amenities within a maximum of 15 minutes’ walk or bike ride from any home. Developed on an area of 31 hectares, with only 15% built-up area, the project has obtained LEED Platinum certification according to the v4.1 standard for communities: Planning and Design, becoming the first residential project in Europe to achieve this standard. The suburb will benefit from modern infrastructure and comprehensive facilities, including sports and leisure areas, a school, kindergarten, and after-school programs (officially scheduled to open in September 2026), an outdoor cinema, a shopping area, an office hub, medical services, as well as parks and green spaces covering a total area of 5.3 hectares.
