“Modern Property Management means more than efficient operations; it requires a deep understanding of the investment market, commercial buildings, tenant needs and the broader market context. Through education and practical examples, we can accelerate the professionalization of the industry and create sustainable long-term value,” said Costin Nistor.

During the Property Management course within BREC (Bucharest Real Estate Club), Costin Nistor presented the Commercial Building Management services, explaining their role in maximizing asset performance and value—from operations and tenant relations to investment strategies.
