Lidl Berceni Store, 2025

The Lidl Berceni development covers a 10,002 sqm plot and includes a 2,387.95 sqm built area, with the store itself occupying 2,369.2 sqm on a single level. The site is located on Bulevardul 1 Mai and was designed and delivered to meet modern retail standards, with a focus on durability, energy efficiency, and rapid execution.

Goldbach Design & Build managed the technical planning and coordination, while Goldbach Construct oversaw all construction activities, including structural works, infrastructure, and site development. The store was built using a prefabricated reinforced concrete system — including isolated foundations, load-bearing columns, and precast floor slabs — to ensure both speed and quality of execution.

Supporting systems include a 206 m³ underground stormwater retention tank, a fire water reserve with pump room, a transformer station, and full MEP installations. Externally, the site features 109 parking spaces, pedestrian walkways, green landscaping over 2,072 sqm, and fully integrated utility and access networks.

The result is a modern, fully operational commercial space that elevates customer experience and reinforces Goldbach Group’s expertise in delivering state-of-the-art retail centers.

Architectural and structural design

• Development of all design documentation aligned with Lidl’s international retail standards.
• Integration of structural, fire safety, and building envelope requirements into a single-fire-compartment scheme.
• Optimization of the building’s footprint for functionality and customer flow.

MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) design coordination:

• Specification and layout of energy-efficient VRF and mini-VRF HVAC systems.
• Design of mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery and a 20,000 m³/h smoke extraction fan.
• Coordination of electrical, data-voice, lighting, fire alarm (BMA), and low voltage systems.

Urban planning and permitting:

• Preparation of urban planning documentation to comply with zoning and building codes.
• Coordination with local authorities to secure construction and utility permits.
• Full compliance with energy efficiency, fire safety, and environmental protection regulations.

Erection of the precast concrete structure

• The building was executed using a precast reinforced concrete system (columns, beams, slabs) to ensure structural integrity and speed of construction.
• Prefabricated foundations with concrete footings and perimeter balancing beams were used for efficient load distribution.
• The superstructure included high-performance sandwich panels for thermal and fire resistance

Site infrastructure and utilities

• Full installation of underground utilities, including sanitary, stormwater, and firefighting water networks.
• Construction of a 206 m³ stormwater retention basin and a 25 m³ wastewater collection tank.
• Delivery and commissioning of a fire reserve water tank and associated pump room.

External works and parking

• Construction of a 109-space parking lot, including dedicated EV, family, and accessible spaces.
• Roadways, sidewalks, pedestrian paths, and traffic signage were completed in accordance with local standards.
• Landscaping works included 2,072 sqm of green areas, turf, and 13 planted trees.

Interior and exterior finishes

• High-quality finishes were applied in the sales area, storage zones, technical rooms, and staff facilities.
• Partition walls included gypsum board and masonry based on functionality.
• Fire-rated materials and finishes ensured adherence to resistance requirements.

Specialized equipment and installations

• Delivery and installation of grease and hydrocarbon separators.
• Setup of illuminated signage including a totem and external branding panels.

• Fast-track construction, using precast concrete structure, which enabled rapid on-site assembly and high structural precision.
• High-quality materials ensure durability, low maintenance, and compliance with modern retail standards.
• Integration of sustainable solutions, including energy-efficient materials to support local environmental impact goals.
• Seamless tenant adaptability, allowing for flexible interior layouts based on future retail needs.
