What do you do when you have surplus capital and don't want it to devalue?

Investment opportunities in 2022

In the last two years, society has gone through a period marked by uncertainties which, in the current geopolitical context, are deepening more and more. Therefore, it is normal to wonder what are now the safest ways to secure our hard-earned savings and what are the best investment opportunities.

Banking specialists advise those with savings in lei not to exchange their money for foreign currency now, and if they have ongoing loans, not to liquidate them at this time. Instead, they recommend keeping part of their savings in liquid form and investing the other part to best protect themselves from devaluation.

Also, according to expert opinions, the real estate sector continues to offer the best returns, given that, although we do not wish for this, prices show all the ingredients for sustained growth throughout this year as well.

How are GREENFIELD Băneasa's prices justified?

Apartments located in an attractive area with significant investment.

The constant appreciation of prices in this complex is explained, on the one hand, by its positioning in a very attractive area of the capital – the North area, sector 1, but also by the massive investments made here in recent years, which have led to a permanent increase in the quality of life for residents.

The GREENEST residential complex with a public school and kindergarten

GREENFIELD Băneasa is the first residential complex to benefit from State school and kindergarten, the building permit for them having been issued in September of last year. Considering the long-term development plans for the residential complex, using sustainable materials and technologies, it is poised to become the “greenest” residential project in Eastern Europe. Also, the entire development process is based on adopting the concept of Home Wellbeing.

What should those who intend to invest in real estate consider?

Those who wish to place their surplus capital in a real estate investment must also consider that further price increases are announced in the construction materials market, which will be strongly felt in the final price for the residential segment. Thus, although a certain degree of caution is necessary, those who wish to make such an investment should not postpone it for too long.

Instead, what they can do as a precautionary measure is to check very carefully who they are buying from, to ensure that the developer has experience and a history of kept promises. With 31 years of experience in the market, IMPACT Developer & Contractor, the developer of the GREENFIELD Băneasa complex, is the first real estate company established in Romania and also the first real estate developer listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, with 14 complexes developed and fully sold to date.
