Liebrecht & Wood finishes Cernica access road

Construction
ROMANIA Belgium-based developer Liebrecht & Wood Group has completed the construction of the new A2 highway exit in Cernica, 15 km away from Bucharest’s city centre.

Fully financed by the developer, the EUR 5 mln 4-km road infrastructure will grant access to Cernica Park, a EUR 110 mln Liebrecht & Wood retail scheme that is set to be developed on a nearby 34-ha plot, says the company. “As the Romanian capital city is growing out of its current borders, locations like Cernica or Fundeni are also on the rise, especially in terms of residential real estate development,” said Patrick Van Den Bossche, the managing director of Liebrecht & Wood Group. The construction work on Cernica Park is scheduled to be launched in 2016.
