Romanian real estate developer CERTION announces the completion of the VOGH project, the first branded residences operated as a hotel in Olimp, one of the most popular resorts on the Romanian Black Sea coast.

Less than two years after the start of the works, the company is preparing to start the reception process and then the delivery of the apartments to customers. The project will welcome its first guests in the first part of next year.

Located and developed in the Olimp resort, which is in full transformation through investments of over EUR 700 million ongoing and planned until 2025, the 12-storey complex totals 173 apartments, 85% of which have already been sold, with a total value of RON 57.6 million.

"The successful completion of the VOGH Olimp complex, despite the less favorable context of the last two years, confirms our ability to fulfill our promises to our investors and customers. Delivery to the promised standard and on time was the main objective of our team during this period," said Cătălin Scripcaru, CEO of CERTION.

Among the main facilities available to guests and residents of VOGH Olimp is the spectacular infinity pool on the 11th floor overlooking the sea, unique on the Romanian coast. Added to that is the unique CIGAR BAR on the same floor plus a chic SPA area. The property benefits from hotel services specific to authentic brand residences. The hotel custodian of VOGH Olimp is the Loyal Paladin company, which will operate the largest alliance of branded residences in Romania, with a portfolio that will include approximately 2,000 accommodations until 2026.

The chain of branded residences operated by Loyal Paladin and developed by CERTION in the South of the Romanian coast, includes 5 projects, of which VOGH Olimp is the first one completed. GALILEO Olimp Resort & Residences is also in an advanced stage of execution, with delivery estimated in the second half of next year. The other three CERTION projects in the South of the Romanian coast, LAGO, SOLANTIS in Neptun and PHAROS in Olimp are in the authorization stage.
