What AG Capital does

AG Capital is a privately held Bulgarian-headquartered real estate investment and development group founded in 1993 by Christo Iliev. The company operates a nine-platform architecture spanning residential (BLD, Ultima Homes), Class A commercial offices (Lion's Head in JV with Old Mutual Property, Park Lane Developments), logistics and industrial (BPD), retail parks (Estrea Park in JV with Mitiska REIM and EBRD), brokerage (Realto Group with 700+ consultants), special situations and NPLs (Atland Investments, backed by Apollo Global Management and IFC), and data center infrastructure (Power Loop). As of 2025, the group reports EUR 800 million in assets under management, over 1,000 employees across AG Capital and Realto Group, and 490,000 sqm of living, logistics, and retail space under construction, with a cumulative track record of 280,000+ sqm of residential and office space built and sold. Operations span Bulgaria, Romania, and Poland, with representation offices in Dubai and Berlin.

The group generates revenue through four distinct streams: one-time property development and sales (BLD's approximately 2,000 apartments delivered plus trophy sales such as Park Lane Office Center to SAP), recurring asset and property management fees (Lion's Head's EUR 350 million office portfolio), transaction-based brokerage commissions (Realto Group), and special-situations investment returns (Atland's EUR 200 million under management). Tenant base across commercial properties is anchored by multinational enterprises — SAP, Oracle, Deloitte, EY, Bosch, Huawei, Thermo Fisher, Carlsberg, Phoenix Pharma, DB Schenker, Allianz, and Stars Group — while residential demand is served through direct-to-consumer sales channels and the Realto brokerage network. Sustainability is integrated across the portfolio, with BREEAM Excellent, LEED Gold, and WELL certifications on flagship assets and 100% renewable electricity at Megapark and Polygraphia since October 2021. Underlying technology includes Building Management Systems for energy monitoring, smart sensors for energy optimization, and EV charging infrastructure, but the group is not AI-native.
