The real estate developer STC Partners continues its commitment to sustainability and the durability of the projects it develops and obtains the ZEB pre-certification – signed by the Romania Green Building Council – for the Quartier Ferdinand residential complex, thus becoming the first net-zero carbon emissions real estate project in Romania.
In addition to the Green Homes pre-certification, Quartier Ferdinand has also received the nZEB pre-certification, a certificate issued by the Romania Green Building Council (RoGBC) – the leading organization in Romania that provides independent, third-party verification for Green Homes certification.
The ZEB – Zero Emissions Building certification ensures total carbon neutrality, taking into account the entire carbon footprint of the building, from its development to 50 years of use.
"We are preserving the architectural heritage of the area and integrating a modern project, a new development by STC Partners that will bring a change to the local landscape, on a beautiful boulevard with a rich history for Bucharest. Therefore, we are even more delighted to offer this area the first net zero carbon emissions building," states Roxana Cristea – Partner & COO – STC Partners.
Developed on a 4,400 sqm plot, Quartier Ferdinand includes 170 apartments, street-level retail spaces, exclusively underground parking, a unique rooftop recreation area, and a playground for children. The chosen materials will reflect the highest quality standards. Additionally, the advantages of this development offer residents lower utility bills, thanks to energy provided exclusively by photovoltaic panels and heat pumps integrated into the building's construction, the building's sustainability, and top-tier living standards.
RoGBC is the most important national organization dedicated to promoting environmental responsibility and energy efficiency in the construction sector in Romania. Founded with the aim of transforming the Romanian real estate market, RoGBC acts as a catalyst for the sustainable development of the built environment at the national level.
"STC Partners has created a remarkable sustainable development through the Quartier Ferdinand project, demonstrating exceptional commitment to environmental standards by obtaining dual pre-certification. The project stands out as one of the few residential developments in Romania that meets the rigorous criteria of the Green Homes certification, which includes full alignment with the European taxonomy requirements, as well as ZEB standards. Quartier Ferdinand achieves the Zero Emissions (ZEB) goal by optimizing energy efficiency and compensating for its carbon footprint, making it a pioneer in the Romanian market and the first residential project in Bucharest to receive this pre-certification even at the design phase," states
