Star Residence Invest, the first investment platform listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) dedicated to the real estate sector, has appointed Adrian Tănase as CFO.

Tănase takes on this role following an eight-year mandate as CEO of the BVB. Previously, he held key positions in the capital market, including CIO at NN Pensii and CEO of ING Investment Management Romania.

The appointment comes as Star Invest enters a new development stage focused on investments in income-generating real estate assets. The strategy targets office buildings in Romania and across Central and Eastern European markets.

"We are in a phase of growth and team consolidation that will support the execution of the next stage of Star Invest's development, with a focus on growth, corporate governance and value creation for investors," said David Canta, CEO Star Invest. "Adrian Tănase is a regarded professional, recognised for his leadership and experience in investments and capital markets."

As part of its strategy, the company aims to raise approximately €12 million in the first stage. The funds will be used for the acquisition of an office building with a total gross built area of 13,755 sqm, located on Polonă Street in Bucharest, for which the sale and purchase agreement was signed on 15 January 2026.
