Meet the 50 most influential people in Romanian real estate

Business Forum
Property Forum is proud to present the sixth edition of its annual publication recognising the 50 most influential people shaping Romania's real estate market. Over the years, this ranking has become a reflection of an industry that continues to grow in scale, sophistication and international relevance. The publication, together with all other regional editions, is now available on the Property Forum website.

This year's edition highlights the people driving the market forward across investment, development, finance, advisory and operations. The individuals featured were recognised for the scale and impact of their work, their strategic vision, leadership and contribution to the long-term development of Romania's real estate sector. A series of exclusive interviews included in the publication also provides insight into the trends, challenges and opportunities shaping the market in 2026.

The publication also continues to build on its expanded format introduced in recent years. Dedicated rankings covering marketing professionals, law firms, regional developers and service providers once again return, reflecting the growing depth and diversity of Romania's real estate ecosystem.

As the Romanian market continues to evolve and attract increasing international attention, recognising the people behind its progress feels more important than ever. We hope this sixth edition serves both as a snapshot of today's industry leaders and as inspiration for the next generation shaping the future of the market.
