Stratulat Albulescu Attorneys at Law (“SAA”) has advised Little London in connection with a built-to-suit lease agreement for the development of a new educational campus within Nusco City, one of the largest mixed-use urban regeneration projects in Bucharest, developed by one of the most important real estate developers in Romania – Nusco. The campus will comprise approximately 7,500 sq. m. of built area on a 7,200 sq. m. plot and will accommodate more than 600 students across all educational levels, from kindergarten through high school. The project involves an investment exceeding EUR 18 million and is scheduled for completion in September 2029.

The transaction reflects the continued integration of educational infrastructure within large-scale residential developments in Romania, with developers increasingly including schools as part of mixed-use projects. Such projects typically require the alignment of educational, operational and technical requirements within bespoke built-to-suit arrangements designed to accommodate the long-term needs of educational operators.

Little London International Academy (https://lliacademy.ro/) is a private educational institution providing a complete educational pathway from kindergarten to high school. The school follows the Romanian national curriculum and integrates internationally recognised educational programmes, including the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP).

Nusco City (www.nusco.ro) is a large-scale urban regeneration development located on a 23-hectare former industrial platform in the Pipera area of northern Bucharest. Upon completion, the project is expected to comprise more than 4,000 residential units, over 40% of the entire surface of the entire project is covered in green areas, parks, and tiny forest, and a range of complementary amenities. Nusco is continuing the development of the project in 2026 with the construction of an additional 836 residential units as part of Phase III.

The SAA team advising on the matter was led by Managing Associate Daiana Assoum.
