omania's real estate market is undergoing a quiet transformation, driven by One United Properties' disciplined execution and alignment with global sustainability trends. As the country's leading green developer, the company has navigated economic headwinds while outperforming industry benchmarks in profitability and ESG integration.
One United Properties' financial performance in H1 2025 highlights its ability to generate returns while maintaining a conservative balance sheet. The company reported a consolidated turnover of EUR 162.3 million, with a gross profit of EUR 59.8 million and a net profit of EUR 49.6 million. Its residential segment delivered EUR 128.2 million in sales, exceeding industry margins by 11%. The firm's capital efficiency is reflected in its return on equity (ROE) of over 20% annually.
One United Properties' success hinges on its ability to deliver projects on time and within budget. The company has adopted proptech solutions to optimize energy monitoring and reduce operational costs, while over 80% of its residential units are certified under green building standards. As Romania's regulatory environment tightens, One United's early adoption of certifications positions it to outperform peers.
Romania's green real estate market is gaining traction, with total investment reaching EUR 391 million in H1 2025. The logistics and office sectors, where One United has a strong presence, are particularly attractive, with modern logistics stock exceeding 8.0 million square meters and prime office spaces yielding 7.50% returns.
While risks persist, including stricter EU sustainability regulations and rising interest rates, One United's conservative leverage and focus on pre-sales mitigate these risks. Its upcoming Capital Markets Day will provide further clarity on its capital allocation strategy and long-term ESG goals. For investors, the case for One United Properties is clear: it combines capital efficiency, disciplined execution, and a first-mover advantage in green real estate.
