Global Vision Looks Forwards With €500 Million Project Pipeline

Sorin Preda, Founder and CEO of Global Vision, talked to Property Forum about the company’s new investment fund which should grow to €50 million and the vision to expand across the commercial sector as well as in the renewable energy segment as the development pipeline amounts to more than €500 million.

How did your real estate portfolio perform in the past year, and what are your main business goals for 2025?

As we move into 2025, our focus is on securing long-term, structured growth through the launch of the Global Vision Investment Fund. This initiative positions us to collaborate with international investors and expedite the delivery of large-scale, high-quality projects.
Our goal for the year is to achieve over €50 million in new investments, supported by a project pipeline exceeding €500 million. We are prioritizing expansion across key asset classes, including logistics, industrial, residential, commercial, and renewable energy, while upholding rigorous standards in technology integration and operational efficiency. 2025 represents a year of execution and scalability, as we continue to solidify our position in shaping the future of real estate development in Romania and the broader region.

What specific initiatives will the Technology and Innovation Division bring to your portfolio? What solutions will you implement across your real estate and green energy projects?

Our Technology and Innovation Division will soon launch its brand new AI platform, strategically designed for corporate environments and optimized back-office operations. The AI platform includes proprietary enterprise AI modules deployed on-premises, specifically targeting high-volume administrative tasks from HR, Marketing, Legal, and Sales.
For industrial use, we focus on AI-driven ESG compliance monitoring, predictive analytics for energy management and advanced integration with Manufacturing Execution Systems to optimize production efficiency and quality control.
Additionally, our platform will facilitate sophisticated digital solutions supporting real-time logistics coordination, tenant experience enhancement, and proactive maintenance scheduling. These initiatives significantly enhance operational performance, delivering measurable efficiencies and sustainability improvements across our real estate and green energy projects.

With Global Vision’s strategy combining real estate and renewable energy, what is your current allocation of investment between these two sectors?

Global Vision’s strategy seamlessly blends real estate with renewable energy, creating a strong, future-ready investment model. Our properties aren’t just assets—they’re platforms for comprehensive solar solutions. We manage everything endto-end: from leasing rooftops and handling permits to design, installation, operations, and maintenance.
We work closely with independent property owners to unlock the full potential of each site. Surplus energy generated is sold back to the grid, creating a steady revenue stream, while battery storage solutions help maximize investment efficiency. Additionally, our EV charging infrastructure supports the growing demand for electric mobility and delivers high-margin returns through optimized energy distribution.

What are the current priorities and focus areas for your development pipeline this year?

In 2025, we’re building on recent momentum, focusing on scaling our activity across key sectors. The launch of the Global Vision Investment Fund enables us to accelerate large-scale developments and attract long-term international partners. We’re prioritizing industrial and logistics, expanding with modern, strategically located facilities to meet growing demand. Additionally, we see strong potential in retail and residential, especially in mixed-use concepts that enhance communities and adapt to evolving lifestyles. Our approach remains executionfocused, delivering high-quality, efficient spaces that meet the needs of today’s businesses and residents.

What key regional trends do you currently observe that are significantly influencing Global Vision’s strategic decisions, particularly concerning sustainability, tenant needs, and technological integration?

Regional trends are shaping our strategy, with Romania’s expanding infrastructure – particularly new highways and logistics routes – creating industrial development opportunities focused on accessibility and scalability.
At the same time, tenant needs are evolving. Industrial clients require flexible, high-efficiency spaces for automation, while retail is shifting to experience-driven formats with digital integration. Residential demand is growing for mixed-use, wellconnected communities that enhance quality of life and longterm value.

How are projects incorporating sustainable practices and contributing to the well-being of the communities they are part of?

Our projects prioritize sustainability and community wellbeing. We incorporate energy-efficient technologies into every development to reduce environmental impact and boost longterm efficiency. We design residential spaces with accessibility, green areas, and mixed-use elements to promote connection and a balanced, walkable lifestyle. Our industrial and retail developments offer flexible, high-quality spaces that adapt to tenant needs. Health and well-being are central, with features like natural light, outdoor areas, and improved air quality. We also consider transport access and local amenities to support vibrant, self-sustaining communities.

How does Global Vision ensure compliance with evolving ESG regulations and standards and what are the expectations of tenants?

At Global Vision, we are committed to aligning with evolving ESG regulations by embedding sustainable practices throughout the entire development lifecycle—from land acquisition and design to construction, operations, and asset management. We proactively monitor regulatory updates and industry benchmarks to ensure our projects consistently exceed compliance requirements. This includes the use of low-impact materials, renewable energy integration, biodiversity initiatives, and carbon footprint reduction strategies.
As tenant sustainability expectations continue to rise, we design spaces that actively support their net-zero and operational efficiency goals. Our developments feature solutions such as real-time energy monitoring, advanced waste management, and wellness-focused amenities.
