🏙️ Geo Mărgescu, Co-Founder & CEO of Forte Partners, has once again been named one of The 50 Most Influential People in Romania's Real Estate Market by Property Forum, the 2026 edition.

The recognition reflects a consistent track record of urban regeneration in Bucharest, from The Bridge, which transformed the Basarab Passage area into a major business hub, to Sector 0 (Tandem and Millo Offices), which brought art deco-inspired architecture to Calea Victoriei, to U•Center, the landmark mixed-use project in the Tineretului area now in its final phase.

Under Geo's leadership, Forte Partners continues to develop with the conviction that the best real estate is the kind that works for the people inside it, for the neighbourhood around it and for the city over time. 🤝

💡 U•Center 2 switches on a real-time “waste counter”, signaling a new shift in the office market: buildings gain an edge through technologies that cut costs and strengthen ESG performance.

Working closely with Atalian Romania the facility management partner for U•Center, to monitor and reduce waste, we at Forte Partners have reached an important milestone: U•Center 2 has become one of the first buildings in Romania equipped with a smart, real-time “waste meter,” powered by WasteTracker.

This technology boosts operational efficiency, optimizes costs and directly supports our tenants’ ESG commitments. In an office market increasingly driven by sustainability, such capabilities enhance both the value and the appeal of U•Center buildings.
