“One of the Group’s latest acquisitions is a 2.7-hectare land at the entrance to Pitești, in the immediate vicinity of the A1 highway. The positioning in the immediate vicinity of the A1 highway, as well as near an existing retail hub – Jupiter City, Metro and Arabesque Pitești – determined us to add this land to the group’s portfolio, for a future proximity logistic development.”
Some of his key achievements within the group include the development of Bistrita Retail Park (a shopping gallery of 7.600 sqm with tenants such as Carrefour Market, Decathlon, Sportisimo, JYSK, Lems, Happy Cinema, Top Shop, Sinsay, Help Net and Contakt), the takeover of BCC office building from Immofinanz, which was rebranded as One Victoriei Center and the acquisition of the former Kandia factory in Timisoara. Ionut is also in charge of the acquisitions for the logistic development of the group (Element Industrial), some of the most important being a 2,7-hectare land in Pitesti, a 3-hectare land in Targoviste or the warehouses of Bere Bauturi from Constanta rebranded as Eli Xpress Constanta
