Impact Developer & Contractor: 60% of apartments contracted from the existing stock in the first half of 2020

IMPACT Developer & Contractor S.A. (IMP) ended the first half of 2020 with 133 homes sold and 260 pre-contracted homes, totaling 212 million lei. Of the stock of 487 apartments available in S1, 255 in Greenfield and 232 in Luxuria (March 2020), 60% were contracted. To these are added 102 pre-contracted apartments in the new development phases.

The first semester of 2020 focused on the construction of buildings and the preparation of documentation for future constructions in the representative neighborhoods developed by the company in Bucharest: Greenfield Băneasa and Luxuria Residence, respectively Constanța - Boreal Plus.

In H1 2020, 133 sale-purchase contracts were registered, which brought revenues of 65.808 million lei, to which are added 260 pre-contracts of sale, purchase and reservations totaling 146.28 million lei. The 133 contracts mean 88 units sold in Greenfield (7,650 sqm) and 45 in Luxuria (3,347 sqm), including apartments, parking lots and yard lands related to the package. The apartments sold in the first semester of 2020 totaled a built area of ​​10,998 sqm.

"In a difficult time, with two months of lockdown and a crisis caused by the Covid-19 virus, Impact Developer & Contractor continued its construction and sales activities, with a focus on trading completed apartments, available in both Greenfield, as well as in Luxuria. Despite this crisis, Impact was on a positive trend, registering in the first half a profit of 8.7 million Lei, and an EBITDA of 17.6 million Lei. We have confidence in the projects we develop and in their degree of attractiveness, which will raise the level of profitability in the second half of the year in accordance with the objectives assumed by investors and shareholders. The housing acquisition behavior has acquired new valences, especially in the context of the COVID crisis, but also of the New House program, which encourages buyers to move towards more spacious, better quality housing, thus raising the living standards of Romanians. More time spent at home with Government-imposed measures due to the pandemic crisis has mobilized people to move to larger homes and ensembles where the living context includes gardens, parks or forests, as in the case of Greenfield. Working from home created the need for an office room in the apartment and became a motivating factor in the purchase, and the fact that Luxuria thought of this option from the project stage, is a plus for those who work from home, "said Sorin Apostol , CEO Impact Developer & Contractor.

For the second semester, Impact envisages: for Luxuria, the completion of the second phase (268 apartments) and the continuation of the works in the third phase (130 apartments); obtaining construction permits, starting works and financing the fourth phase of Greenfield and the first phase of development in Boreal Plus Constanța.

The fourth development phase of Greenfield Residence includes the Teilor Ensemble (1,900 apartments) and brings a premiere for IMPACT: the first commercial project with a recreation center - Greenfield Plaza, offering a mix that will complete the range of facilities offered within the community.

Greenfield Plaza includes a Strip Mall, SPA area, gym, office area. The new Greenfield phases will be designed to include Smart City facilities and buildings that respect the design principles of green buildings, minimize energy consumption and use energy from renewable sources, leading to a reduction in carbon footprint.
