AREI brings together real estate investors active across residential, office, retail and logistics sectors in Romania. Its members develop large-scale investment projects worth billions of euros in cities including Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Constanța, Brașov, Timișoara and Craiova.
The new leadership has set out an agenda focused on public-private dialogue, wider access to real estate investment and capital markets, more accessible quality housing, and clearer urban planning and permitting procedures.
"The mandate entrusted to me by my colleagues is both an honour and a responsibility. Over the next four years, I intend to strengthen the community of professionals active in real estate development in Romania by retaining and growing our membership, to continue a structured dialogue with authorities and civil society on matters of common interest and, most importantly to me, to make sure that the voice of every member is heard and represented," said Geo Margescu, President of AREI.
"Real estate investment is a long-term commitment to a country and its cities. Romania has significant potential, and unlocking it requires confidence in the rules, consistency in their application and a shared vision for growth. Through AREI, I want to bring an investor's perspective to these priorities and help turn our collective experience into practical proposals that deliver lasting economic and urban value," said Doron Klein, Vice-President of AREI.
