Meta Estate Trust puts EUR 2 million in retail park near Bucharest
<p>Meta Estate Trust (MET), a holding company operating in the real estate sector, has invested approximately EUR 2 million in a new retail park currently under development in Ciolpani, a commune located on the Bucharest–Ploiești corridor (DN1), it said.</p>

<p>The project is scheduled to be completed and handed over to tenants this year, with an anticipated opening to the public in the first quarter of 2026.</p>

<p>Meta Estate Trust's investment in the Ciolpani retail park is structured through a balanced mix of own funds, contributions from two partners, and an investment loan from Banca Transilvania, it said.</p>

<p>Meta Estate Trust currently owns 76% of the company developing the project. ERES One Development, founded by the Dobra family and the project's developer, will take over the park's operation and management upon its opening.</p>

<p>"The retail park in Ciolpani is the first development of its kind and marks the beginning of a series of investments in partnership with an international retailer. The chosen location and the tenant mix directly address a real need in the local community, giving us confidence in the efficiency and success of this investment. Upon completion, we estimate that the asset will generate an annual gross income of over 350,000 euros, strengthening Meta Estate Trust's position in the segment of commercial assets leased to trusted partners. This investment aligns with Meta Estate Trust's strategy of portfolio diversification and strengthening exposure in real estate segments with growth potential, served by stable tenants with a strong market presence," <strong>Alexandru Bonea</strong>, CEO of Meta Estate Trust, said.</p>
