In the next episode of our Horizons video series, we spotlight Ardiana Sokoli, Vice President for Real Estate at BALFIN Group, who shares her vision on how we are redefining the future of real estate. With nearly two decades of growth and transformation behind us, Ardiana emphasizes the importance of innovation, diversification, and sustainability in building tomorrow’s destinations.
BALFIN’s approach to real estate
BALFIN is committed to developing large-scale, sustainable projects that create long-term value for communities, clients, and partners. According to Ardiana, the Group’s real estate strategy focuses on three priorities:
Expanding into new markets to strengthen our global footprint.
Introducing innovative concepts that set new standards in the industry.
Embedding sustainability at the core of everything we build.
This vision ensures that every development is not just a project, but a catalyst for growth and progress.
From residential to destinations
Since entering the market in 2002, BALFIN’s portfolio has evolved. What began with residential buildings has expanded into large mixed-use developments that bring together living, hospitality, retail, and entertainment. These integrated projects go beyond construction, they create entire destinations where people live, work, and thrive.
Sustainability as a guiding principle
For Ardiana, sustainability isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. While global awareness is now catching up, BALFIN has long integrated eco-friendly solutions into its projects. From energy-efficient designs to environmentally conscious materials, the goal is clear: stay at the forefront of sustainable real estate development and lead by example in every market we enter.
On the Horizons
BALFIN’s real estate footprint is already strong in Albania, the United States, Austria, Canada, and North Macedonia, with new opportunities under exploration in Greece and Italy. Looking ahead, Ardiana highlights that BALFIN’s vision is to create developments that balance vision, scale, and long-term impact, projects that shape the skylines of today while building the communities of tomorrow.
