Fortim Trusted Advisors Recognized Across Four Excellence Categories at Property Forum’s Top 50 Most Influential People in Romanian Real Estate 2026
Fortim Trusted Advisors, an alliance member of BNP Paribas Real Estate, strengthened its position among the leading players in the Romanian real estate market through multiple recognitions received within Property Forum’s “Top 50 Most Influential People in Romanian Real Estate 2026” ranking and related excellence categories.
The annual publication, considered one of the most important industry recognitions in Romania, highlights the executives, developers, consultants, and investors shaping the future of the local real estate market. The ranking traditionally accompanies the Bucharest Business Forum and reflects the performance, influence, and long-term contribution of professionals and companies active across investment, advisory, development, and operations.
This year, Fortim Trusted Advisors was recognized in four major categories, reflecting both the company’s growth strategy and the professional achievements of its team members.
Costin Nistor, Managing Director & Shareholder at Fortim Trusted Advisors, was included in the “Top 50 Most Influential People in Romanian Real Estate” ranking, recognizing his more than 24 years of experience in property management, office consultancy, and residential sales, as well as his active contribution to the development of the Romanian real estate market.
Beyond his executive role within Fortim, Costin Nistor is actively involved in professional education initiatives through BREC and ROFMA, where he contributes to the development of future real estate and property management professionals. Through the ROFMA Educational Caravan, he delivers property management courses in key regional cities including Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Iași, and Constanța.
Fortim Trusted Advisors was also included among the “Top 5 Service Providers in Romania,” a recognition that reflects the company’s steady growth and diversified portfolio of services. Founded in 2002 and part of the BNP Paribas Real Estate Alliance, Fortim has been fully owned and operated by Romanian stakeholders since December 2020 and has continued to strengthen its market position through integrated real estate solutions and client-focused strategies.
The company currently delivers consultancy services through three main business lines: Real Estate Management Solutions, Advisory, and Residential. Its expertise covers Property Management, Project Management, Office, Retail and Industrial Agency, Valuation, Research, Capital Markets, residential consultancy, marketing, and sales process management.
Fortim’s Property Management expertise has been particularly visible through landmark projects such as America House, one of Bucharest’s iconic office buildings, managed by the company for more than 11 years. Under Fortim’s coordination, the building achieved full occupancy and obtained major sustainability and accessibility certifications, including BREEAM Outstanding In-Use, Gold ActiveScore, and Gold Access4You.
Another important recognition was received by Maria Neda, Deputy Head of PR & Research at Fortim Trusted Advisors, who was included in the “Top 10 Most Active Marketing Professionals in Romania.
” With more than 21 years of experience in communications, PR, and media, Maria Neda plays a key role in Fortim’s strategic communication and brand positioning activities.
Since 2025, she has also been a lecturer within ROFMA, where she created a B2B real estate communication course focused on helping professionals strengthen trust, improve client relationships, manage media interactions, and navigate crisis communication effectively.
The company’s presence within this year’s Property Forum rankings was further supported by the market insights and analysis provided by Nicolae Ciobanu, highlighting key trends shaping Romania’s office market and the growing importance of adaptability, sustainability, and operational efficiency in commercial real estate.
In Fortim’s view, Romania’s real estate market continues to offer strong long-term potential, supported by the increasing maturity of local investors, the entry of new international players, and the growing demand for integrated and sustainable real estate solutions.
Romanian investors accounted for 36% of total commercial real estate investments in the first months of 2026, a level broadly consistent with the previous year. At the same time, the office sector remains the dominant asset class, while new investment opportunities continue to emerge across mixed-use, retail, industrial, and adaptive reuse projects.
Fortim also sees increasing opportunities in niche segments such as medical clinics integrated into office buildings, the transformation of old industrial buildings into modern office spaces, and office-to-residential conversions, all driven by the growing focus on sustainability and efficient use of existing assets.
Fortim Trusted Advisors was also ranked among the “Top 5 Service Providers in Romania,” a recognition that highlights the company’s strong positioning in the local real estate consultancy and property management market. As an alliance member of BNP Paribas Real Estate, Fortim delivers integrated Property Management and Project Management services for strategic clients, covering the entire real estate lifecycle — from land acquisition advisory and business plan development to construction project management, marketing, communication, controlling, and long-term property management.
Starting in 2025, the company expanded its focus toward tailored mixed-use, retail, and industrial projects, further strengthening its role as a strategic partner for investors and property owners seeking high-performance real estate solutions in Romania. Fortim’s long-standing expertise is also reflected in landmark projects such as America House, one of Bucharest’s iconic office buildings, managed by the company for more than 11 years. Under Fortim’s coordination, the building achieved full occupancy and obtained multiple excellence certifications, including BREEAM Outstanding In-Use, Gold ActiveScore, and Gold Access4You, setting new standards for quality, sustainability, and operational performance in property management.
“These recognitions reflect not only the individual achievements of our team members, but also Fortim’s long-term commitment to delivering high-quality, integrated real estate services adapted to a rapidly changing market,” Costin Nistor stated.
In 2026, Fortim Trusted Advisors continues to expand its expertise and strengthen its role as a strategic partner for investors, developers, occupiers, and property owners seeking innovative and performance-driven real estate solutions in Romania.
