Bucharest, June 25, 2025
Meta Estate Trust (stock symbol MET), a holding company operating in the real estate sector and acting as a bridge between the real estate and capital markets, announces a new investment in the hospitality industry. The company is investing €1.52 million in a portfolio of 4 villas within the Radisson Blu Grand Mountain Resort Brașov – the first 5-star mountain villa resort in Romania. The premium resort is currently under development, and the four villas representing Meta Estate Trust’s investment will be fully completed at the beginning of 2027, to be operated under the Radisson Blu brand. This investment marks a significant strengthening of the company’s position in the premium hotel segment of mountain resorts, in line with its strategic focus on recurring revenue streams.
“Radisson Blu Grand Mountain Resort Brașov is an investment that reflects our clear direction toward building a portfolio of premium operational assets with value growth potential and recurring yields. We selected this project because it meets rigorous investment criteria – location, brand, operational efficiency – and also because it anticipates a clear upward trend in mountain hospitality. We believe this segment will become a key pillar of Romania’s hotel market, and Meta is well positioned to directly benefit from this momentum,” said Alexandru Bonea, CEO of Meta Estate Trust.
Developed near Brașov, in the town of Cristian, Radisson Blu Grand Mountain Resort will feature 46 Scandinavian-style villas and 20 hotel rooms, along with premium amenities: spa, indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, conference hall, panoramic restaurant, fitness center, and year-round outdoor activities.
Once completed, Meta Estate Trust will become co-owner of the assets operated under the international Radisson Blu brand and will benefit from recurring rental income from the 4 villas during the operation period. The properties acquired by Meta Estate Trust – 2 two-bedroom homes and 2 duplexes – are designed for dual-season operation (summer and winter), with an estimated average occupancy rate of over 60% year-round. This offers a competitive edge compared to Romania’s seaside resorts and provides a solid basis for achieving stable, recurring returns.
Meta Estate Trust’s investment in the Radisson Blu Grand Mountain Resort project is financed through both internal funds and a bank loan. The first tranche of the investment, 40%, has already been paid, with the second tranche due in January 2027. This investment in a hotel under the Radisson Hotel Group umbrella is the company’s second in the hospitality sector, following Swissôtel in Poiana Brașov in 2023, which marked Meta’s debut in the hotel market. Currently, Meta Estate Trust owns 4 apartments and 5 parking spaces within Swissôtel in Poiana Brașov.
Meta Estate Trust’s new strategic direction for developing a portfolio of revenue-generating assets focuses on minimizing risks and operating costs while ensuring long-term predictability and stability. Specifically, in this hotel industry transaction, the Meta Estate management team has bet on the development of Romania’s premium hotel sector and on partnerships with globally recognized hospitality operators.
