Corwin

What Corwin does

Corwin is a private sustainable real estate developer founded in 2010 in Bratislava, Slovakia, operating across three Central European markets (Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic) through separate legal entities (Corwin SK a.s., CORWIN SI d.o.o., CORWIN CZ s.r.o.). The company develops mixed-use neighborhoods, residential complexes, and commercial office buildings under LEED certification standards, with 12 completed projects to date, 1,392 apartments delivered, and a pipeline of more than 5,000 apartments alongside 131,070 m2 of commercial space. Core technologies include renewable energy systems (heat pumps, solar panels), green roof infrastructure (16,719 m2), water recycling and rain gardens, energy-efficient building design with recuperation, and ceiling cooling/heating systems; the company holds the first LEED Zero Carbon certification in Central Europe for Einpark Offices and LEED Platinum status.

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time residential property sales (apartments, penthouses, urban villas), recurring commercial property leasing (Einpark Offices, Blumental Offices, Vilharia), and capital raising via corporate bond programs (Corwin Dlhopisy I and II, totaling EUR 43 million in 2025-2026, distributed through Slovenská sporiteľňa bank branches). Distribution relies on country-specific direct sales teams, dedicated client portals, and bank-branch bond distribution. Architectural design partnerships with Gehl Architects, Snøhetta, Schmidt Hammer Lassen, OFIS arhitekti, AllesWirdGut, and OVA underpin a "people-first" urbanism brand positioning.

Corwin is led by CEO Marián Hlavačka with country managers in each market; audited 2023 consolidated financials show EUR 357 million in total assets, EUR 199.6 million NAV, EUR 23.7 million net profit, and a 24.5% net debt ratio. The company has raised no disclosed venture capital or private equity, funding growth primarily through corporate bonds and project-level financing.
