Fight, flight or freeze? Ways to unblock real estate development in Bucharest

Between urban planning issues, permitting jams and construction sites put on hold, there is no room for boredom in the Bucharest real estate landscape. But there is not much room for real estate development, either. In the past couple of years, Romania's capital city has seen a dramatic drop in newly authorised construction works. Heated discussions continue around real estate development, with little prospects for this lose-lose bottleneck to end anytime soon. But where there is a will there is a way – or at least a workaround.

• What legal options do developers and investors have to get their projects done in the current local policymaking framework?
• How can urban planning and permitting issues be addressed on a case-by-case basis?
• What promise does the highly anticipated urban planning code hold to solve practical issues in real estate development and construction?

Join us at this event organised by Schoenherr Romania. Our real estate lawyers will explore these and other topics together with guest speakers. If you are a representative of a real estate development or investment company, this will be particularly interesting for you.
