What Prime Kapital does

Prime Kapital is a privately-held, vertically-integrated real estate developer, investor and operator headquartered in Bucharest, Romania. Founded in 2016, the company develops, acquires and operates retail, residential, office and mixed-use properties across Central and Eastern Europe, with a portfolio spanning more than 590,000 sqm of gross leasable area across 20+ Romanian cities plus selected assets in Bulgaria and Poland, and over 1,600 premium homes completed since inception. Its directly owned real estate assets exceed EUR 650 million, and its consolidated asset base (including partner-owned MAS assets) is over EUR 1.9 billion.

The company's core products and underlying technology comprise three integrated building lines: super-regional and regional shopping centres (Mall Moldova at 110,000 sqm with 250+ tenants, Arges Mall, Carolina Mall, the Value Centres network), Class-A offices (Silk District Office, BREEAM Outstanding at 93.3–93.7%), and large-scale mixed-use residential communities (Silk District, Avalon Estate, Marmura Residence, Pleiades Residence, and the new LOOM phase with 1,254 planned apartments). Prime Kapital builds to NZEB residential standards and pursues BREEAM Outstanding certification for its offices, with sustainability treated as a technical capability rather than a marketing claim.

Revenue comes from two primary streams. First, one-time sales of residential units (studios from EUR 79,950, two- and three-bedroom apartments from EUR 126,378–EUR 175,000, and townhouses/penthouses up to EUR 370,000+, all excluding VAT) targeted at primary-residence end-users, with pre-sale agreements made non-transferable to filter out speculative buyers. Second, recurring rental income from retail and office leasing through a dedicated leasing team. Distribution is direct: physical sales offices at every development site, project-specific websites, and ESG-anchored marketing. The company maintains a long-running funding and co-investment partnership with MAS P.L.C. (Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed); in August 2025, Prime Kapital's investment vehicle PK Investments acquired a controlling 61% stake in MAS, deepening access to institutional capital across the CEE portfolio.

Passing rent figures are disclosed for various properties (e.g., Arges Mall, Militari Shopping, Nova Park). Tenants include fashion retailers, F&B operators, entertainment providers and office tenants.
