Balfin Real Estate took part in the second edition of the Kosova Finance Forum, a key regional platform bringing together representatives from financial institutions, public sector leaders, and industry experts to discuss economic developments and investment trends across the Western Balkans.
As part of the panel “Real Estate Investment Trends in the Western Balkans,” CEO Ledia Telhai shared a market-driven perspective on how the sector is evolving. She highlighted that real estate today serves as a clear indicator of economic stability and investor confidence, particularly in a global context that is becoming more structured and selective.
While the broader market outlook is improving, investment decisions are increasingly guided by fundamentals: location quality, developer credibility, and long-term value. In this environment, professionalism and consistency are becoming key differentiators.
Balfin Real Estate approaches the market with this mindset: grounded in analysis, practical experience, and a long-term view of development. The company has expanded beyond its initial markets and is now active across several countries, reflecting a steady and disciplined growth trajectory. Current market trends point toward tourism-driven developments, mixed-use concepts, and lifestyle destinations, where the focus is not only on construction, but on creating integrated environments. Sustainability is also becoming a baseline expectation rather than a differentiating factor.
Within this context, projects such as Green Coast, Vlora Marina, and Valamar Tale continue to attract strong and consistent interest. Green Coast remains the most sought-after development, driven by its location and the quality of its execution, setting a reference point for coastal projects in Albania. At the same time, Vlora Marina is expected to play a transformative role in the city’s development, contributing to a new phase for tourism in Vlora. Valamar Tale complements this portfolio with a focus on integrated, experience-driven development.
Discussions at the forum also underlined the importance of regional cooperation in strengthening competitiveness and attracting long-term investment. A more connected approach across markets is increasingly seen as essential for sustainable growth.
Participation in the Kosova Finance Forum reflects Balfin Real Estate’s ongoing engagement with the market, not only through projects, but through contribution to broader industry dialogue and a consistent, professional approach to development across the region.
