Meta Estate Trust invests €4 million in Bucharest apartments

Business Forum
Public real estate fund Meta Estate Trust has announced new investments of approximately €4 million in Bucharest's residential sector. The investments, made within the company's trading business line, encompass four residential projects in two key areas of the city.

The company has signed purchase promises for 37 apartments, with an initial 15% advance payment made. The selected projects are at various stages of development, all with building permits and strategic locations offering easy access to Bucharest's infrastructure.

Alexandru Bonea, CEO of Meta Estate Trust, said: "The residential real estate market is driven by different forces depending on the time frame analyzed, and in Bucharest, we anticipate an accelerated increase in apartment prices, given the sharp decline in the number of new apartments expected to be delivered in 2026 and 2027." 

The investments include 27 apartments in three projects developed by HILS in District 3: HILS Republica, HILS Sunrise, and HILS Titanium. Additionally, 10 apartments were purchased in Plaza Residence Phase VI, developed by Exigent Development in District 6.

These investments are expected to yield a strong internal rate of return of 23-24%.
