HILS Development is launching the Life@HILS social responsibility platform and announcing its support for impactful initiatives in the social, educational, and environmental spheres, derived from the company’s mission to build responsibly and transform communities. HILS Development’s social responsibility projects are structured around four essential pillars of urban development: environment, education, social solidarity, and business ethics. Throughout 2025, HILS’s social responsibility efforts will be carried out in partnership with strategic allies such as Save the Children Romania, the Văcărești Nature Park Association, and UrbanizeHub.

“HILS Development has the creation, transformation, and development of new urban communities in its DNA. Over the past years, we’ve been consistently involved in the life of the new communities formed within our residential projects, as well as in supporting social and educational causes relevant to our community members. We are pleased to launch Life@HILS today, a social responsibility platform that reflects both our long-term vision for the development of the Capital and a model of active engagement for each of us, as residents of Bucharest. We are running and supporting impactful projects across the four key pillars of HILS’s strategy—environment, education, social solidarity, and business ethics—initiatives tailored to the current needs of Bucharest’s residents,” says Iulia Iana, Marketing Director at HILS Development.

Among the community projects supported by HILS are:

  • “Safe Communities for Parents and Children in the Digital Age” – a series of conferences for parents in Bucharest, organized by Save the Children with the support of HILS Development, as part of the “Ora de Net” program.
  • “Bucharest, the Parents’ City” – an initiative by HILS Development to understand the needs of parents in the Capital and how parent-friendly the city is perceived to be. Together with UrbanizeHub, discussions will be held on May 27 about the identified needs and how we can transform the city into a more suitable space for parents and children.
  • “Explorers in the World of Evening Butterflies” – the first event dedicated to the HILS community, organized in partnership with the Văcărești Nature Park Association team, will take place on the evening of May 26, at HILS Brauner.

H Vasile Lascar to become the first Radisson RED in Romania – Radisson RED Bucharest Old Town – following an over EUR 13 MLN investment

Real estate investor-developer Hagag Development Europe consolidates its operations in Romania by expanding its presence to the hospitality segment. The company has selected Radisson Hotel Group as operator for its first hotel development in Bucharest, to open under the Radisson RED brand, and started the permitting procedure to revamp and repurpose its property on 5-7 Vasile Lascar Street, in central Bucharest.

This project will be developed following an over 13 million EURO investment, and involves the transformation of an office building dating back to the 1940s. Historically serving as the offices of the Institute of Hydroelectric Studies, the old office maze will be fully renovated and redesigned to provide 104 guest rooms in the historic Old Town area, offering guests a unique blend of modern amenities and historical charm.

“We have a lot of trust in the local hotel market and we believe that there is no better partner than Radisson Hotel Group to support our vision of transforming H Vasile Lascar into a lifestyle destination that will not only enhance our property’s value, but will revive one of Bucharest’s most elegant neighbourhoods. Our ambition is to offer stylish hotels with modern design and meaningful experiences, at a fair price, and we are delighted to see our properties being associated with one of the largest international hotel chains.”, Yitzhak Hagag, Co-founder and Chairman of Hagag Development Europe, stated.

The new Radisson RED Bucharest Old Town will be the first Radisson RED property in Romania and in Bucharest, which the Group has identified as a key city for growth.

Radisson RED Bucharest Old Town will boast a restaurant and bar, a lobby incorporating a co-working lounge and an outdoor terrace, and versatile meeting spaces. A multipurpose room, together with the pop-up venue on the fifth floor, will cater to meetings, events, product launches, and social functions. Additionally, guests will have access to a fitness area, ensuring a comprehensive hospitality experience.
