Bucharest, December 19, 2025. Meta Estate Trust (stock symbol MET), a holding company active in the real estate sector and capital markets, announces that Retail Park Ciolpani, a retail project developed on DN1 (Bucharest–Ploiești), has been opened and is fully operational as of December 17, 2025. The park thus becomes the first retail asset in Meta Estate Trust’s portfolio to generate recurring revenues.
The total value of the investment in the Retail Park Ciolpani project amounts to approximately €2 million, for a gross leasable area of around 2,650 sqm, strategically located on DN1, in a high-traffic area with direct access to Snagov and the northern part of Bucharest. Lease agreements have a weighted average duration of nine years, reflecting medium- and long-term commitments, while the current tenant mix includes well-known international retailers. Based on Meta Estate Trust’s internal projections, at 100% occupancy, potential rental revenues are estimated at between €360,000 and €385,000 per year. The park’s infrastructure also includes Eldrive electric vehicle charging stations and energy-efficiency solutions, in line with the company’s ESG strategy.
“The opening of Retail Park Ciolpani represents a milestone for Meta Estate Trust. It is our first operational retail park and the first to generate recurring revenues, confirming both the attractiveness of the project and the team’s ability to deliver beyond expectations. The approximately €2 million investment, the tenant portfolio, and the long-term lease structure underpin this development. Our projections indicate solid income potential, while the DN1 location directly addresses the growing needs of communities in northern Bucharest. Through this opening, we reaffirm our confidence in the economic expansion of Ilfov County, closely linked to the transformation of Bucharest and to public infrastructure projects planned for the 2020–2030 period, which support the development of services and facilities” said Bogdan Gramanschi, CFO and Interim CEO of Meta Estate Trust.
Retail Park Ciolpani was developed through a combination of own funds, contributions from two partners, and a bank loan. The project reflects the company’s strategy of diversifying into assets that generate stable revenues and confirms its long-term focus on portfolio consolidation.
