From NestPlus
September 2026 · Plaza · Retail · Braila Plaza
With construction entering its final phase and tenant handovers approaching, Brăila Plaza is moving closer to opening at one of the city’s most established retail destinations.
30 July 2026 · NestPlus · Plaza · Living · Media
In the ZF and CEC Bank show, the NestPlus CEO set out the group's plan: a retail investment fund to be launched in the second half of the year, built to hold and operate the parks the group develops — plus the market's real brake, permitting, which stretches an investment cycle to 24–36 months.
August 2026 · Plaza · Brăila Plaza · Financing
NestPlus Plaza has signed a €10 million investment loan with Exim Banca Românească for the construction of Brăila Plaza — a €17 million investment and the largest street mall in Brăila, with completion scheduled for 2026.
July 2026 · Plaza · Vitan Plaza · Retail
NestPlus Plaza and h4l introduce a national first: eight premium padel courts and a social terrace on the roof of the Vitan Plaza retail gallery, bringing sport, fitness and everyday retail together under one address in one of Bucharest's densest districts.
July 2026 · Plaza · Vitan Plaza · Retail
The Romanian fitness operator secures a full-floor club above the gallery — anchoring the scheme's health-and-fitness level and bringing a proven daily-traffic engine to the Vitan catchment.
July 2026 · Plaza · Vitan Plaza · Retail
Two of Europe's fastest-growing retail brands commit to the gallery on long-term leases, joining PEPCO, TEDi and Dr. Max — a fully convenience-led ground floor for the 4,720 m² scheme.
July 2026 · Plaza · Brăila Plaza · Retail
With Kaufland and Lidl already trading, the ~16,900 m² retail park and commercial gallery moves towards full opening. Twelve national and international brands will serve a catchment of over 150,000 people across Brăila and Galați — everyday retail, built and operated by NestPlus.
July 2026 · Plaza · Brăila Plaza · Retail
The fast-growing Dutch discounter — past 3,300 stores across Europe and expanding rapidly in Romania — brings its first Brăila unit to the retail-park line-up at Brăila Plaza.
July 2026 · Plaza · Brăila Plaza · Retail
Burger King joins the food line-up at Brăila Plaza as the brand accelerates its Romanian expansion towards 50 restaurants nationwide — bringing the flame-grilled experience to the Brăila–Galați catchment.
June 2026 · AG · Public works
Oradea City Hall is turning two-thirds of the historic Ioșia lido into a modern thermal garden — an 8,850 m² spa with indoor pools, five outdoor pools, a swim-up bar and a pontoon on the Crișul Repede. NestPlus AG is bidding the works alongside Concelex.
June 2026 · AG · Public works
One of the largest aquaparks tendered in Romania: four buildings, eight outdoor pools fed by thermal water, 600 loungers and 200 parking places on a ~49,000 m² site. NestPlus AG is bidding the works alongside Concelex.
May 2026 · AG
Quality and environmental management certifications (PROCERT & UNICERT, RENAR-accredited), valid through 2029.
April 2026 · Fund
A €35M equity raise to acquire supermarket-anchored retail parks worth ~€80M in market value; the fund is currently being established.
February 2026 · Plaza · Brăila Plaza · Retail
Lidl inaugurated its new store on Strada Industriei 17M on 5 February — over 1,400 m² of sales area and 164 parking places, replacing its former Calea Galați unit with a modern, energy-efficient store at the heart of the scheme.
February 2021 · Living · Hotel Basarab · Hospitality
Born in Perth and rolled out across Europe's capitals, Tribe packs sharp design into smart, compact rooms. Its first Romanian address — 85 rooms — was signed at NestPlus's Basarab site, announced by Accor as part of a double market premiere.
February 2021 · Living · Hotel Basarab · Hospitality
The Accor–Pierre & Vacances joint venture leads Europe's extended-stay market with apartments designed for a night, a month or a season. Its Romanian premiere — 115 units with full kitchenettes — was signed at NestPlus Basarab.
November 2024 · Plaza · Brăila Plaza · Retail
Kaufland opened on Strada Industriei 17P on 28 November — a store of over 5,700 m² with almost 2,900 m² of sales area, creating ~80 jobs and anchoring the scheme from day one.
