Loka Residence Premium Apartments

One of the most well-known and respected HoReCa investors in Bucharest has announced the launch of several large-scale residential projects in the city — in Sectors 3 and 4 — as well as in Ilfov County.

Florin Diaconu, together with a group of investors, has acquired several plots of land in different areas of Bucharest, totaling over 10,000 sqm, where multiple residential developments will be initiated. These will include more than 350 premium and mass-market apartments, with an initial estimated investment exceeding €15 million.

The founder of some of the capital’s most popular restaurants — Loka Lounge, Arogant by Loka, Duman Restaurant Cuisine, and Mozzafiato Restaurant & Lounge — decided to diversify his business activity, noting that real estate investments provided greater stability and predictability during the Covid-19 pandemic compared to the HoReCa sector, which was heavily affected by restrictions.

The first apartments are set for completion starting next spring, with construction already underway in Sector 4 and Ilfov, while the Sector 3 developments are planned to be completed within the next two years.

Excellent location, smart layout, and the investors’ commitment to meeting clients’ needs — backed by their strong background in HoReCa — are key factors ensuring the success of this new real estate brand.

Loka Residence Premium Apartments

The first residential project under this new brand, Loka Residence Premium Apartments, enjoys an excellent location on the border between Berceni (Sector 4) and Popesti-Leordeni, offering quick access to an area that has evolved into a truly modern residential district. This transformation was driven by the growing demand for well-balanced and affordable housing, as well as the rapid development of infrastructure.

Loka Residence is a well-thought-out concept that, in its first phase, will feature low-rise mixed-use buildings (Ground Floor + 3 Floors + 4th Retracted Floor), ensuring both comfort and privacy for residents, complemented by numerous on-site amenities. The ground floors will host commercial spaces, delineated parking areas, landscaped green zones, and modern pedestrian pathways.

Construction and Design

The structures are built according to the latest safety and seismic standards, in full compliance with the updated national seismic code. The interior partitions are made of Porotherm brick, and all finishes and fittings use high-quality, modern materials from leading suppliers, selected and coordinated by the in-house design department. Buyers benefit from specialized design consultancy to customize their new home to their taste.

The architectural team designed the project based on a well-studied urban plan. The reinforced concrete structure, Porotherm masonry, high-quality waterproofing, and premium interior finishes define the technical excellence of this development.

Each apartment is individually metered (water, gas, electricity) and equipped with a 24 kW individual heating system and radiators distributed efficiently throughout the unit to ensure optimal thermal comfort.

Key Features and Amenities

The project integrates several elements designed to make residents’ lives easier, thanks to its proximity to schools, kindergartens, hospitals, public transport, and major shopping centers such as Lidl, Mega Image, and Sun Plaza Mall. Central Bucharest is reachable in about 20 minutes, and Piata Sudului is less than 10 minutes away.
