The annual BREC Christmas Party was a great opportunity to inaugurate BREC AWARDS, a new initiative designed to bring recognition to BREC members for their activity throughout the year in the real estate industry.
BREC AWARDS is our way to honour the visionaries who transform cities, redefine communities, and set new standards of excellence. BREC AWARDS has given us the opportunity to look closely at each member’s work in 2025 and highlight the investments, transactions, and companies that bring greater maturity and professionalism to the Romanian real estate industry.
VISIONARY CONSULTANCY AWARD – IO PARTNERS
BEST OFFICE DEAL: PROCTER & GAMBLE – YUNITY PARK
The company has gone through a series of notable transformations recently. In 2023, following the JLL – iO Partners transaction, JLL offices in Romania, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia became iO Partners. Starting from January 2026, the new market manager for Romania will be Andrei Vacaru, as recently announced.
