After twenty years and three terminated contracts, the Larnaca port and marina project is edging closer to a real breakthrough. The Cyprus government has adopted a new Growthfund-backed strategy that splits the port and marina into financially independent developments — sidelining a EUR 1.2 billion joint bid and signalling a
Limassol is not only towers, business centres and expensive sea views Limassol is easy to misunderstand. From the outside, it often looks like a city of glass towers, luxury apartments, marinas, business lounges and fast decisions. A place where the coastline is measured in square metres, sea views and investment
Cyprus property prices have officially surpassed their 2008 pre-crisis peak, marking a watershed moment in the island's real estate recovery. The Central Bank of Cyprus reports that its Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) accelerated to 7.1% year-on-year growth in Q4 2025, up from 5.0% in Q3,
Spain proved in 2025 that you do not need to ban foreign property buyers to drive them away — you just need to threaten convincingly enough. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's campaign against non-EU buyers, complete with a floated 100% purchase tax and outright ban proposals, triggered a 17% year-on-year

From Spain's punitive tax measures against landlords to the EU's pan-European short-term rental registration mandate, governments across the continent are systematically dismantling the investor-friendly frameworks that fueled a decade of rental
In the upper echelons of European real estate, a quiet revolution is underway. The traditional hierarchy of value — location, size, condition — is being rewritten by a generation of designers who treat interiors not as decoration but as embedded, non-replicable assets. Belgium, of all places, is at the center of this
Finding a home in Cyprus that is reasonably priced, well maintained, and located in a convenient area is becoming more difficult each year. Rental pressure continues to build, and for many middle-class families, housing costs are no longer just another monthly expense. In practice, rent is often absorbing the equivalent
