Romanian developer One United Properties has been ranked among Europe’s top 10 long-term growth champions, according to the Financial Times’ FT1000 Long-Term Growth Champions 2025 list, which highlights companies that have achieved exceptional and sustained revenue growth over the past decade.
Compiled by the Financial Times in partnership with Statista, the ranking identifies Europe’s most resilient and fastest-expanding firms based on compound annual growth rates, profitability, and strategic consistency over a ten-year period. To qualify, companies must demonstrate primarily organic growth, achieve at least €100,000 in revenue in the base year (2014), and exceed €10 million in the latest financial year (2024).
One United Properties’ inclusion in the top 10 at number 9 is particularly notable given that the ranking is largely dominated by technology, logistics and manufacturing firms. Real estate companies are rarely represented at this level, making One United’s achievement a standout success both for its sector and for Central and Eastern Europe as a whole.
Founded in 2007 by Victor Căpitănu and Andrei Diaconescu, One United Properties is one of Romania’s largest green real estate developers, listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) under ticker ONE.
The FT1000 methodology suggests a minimum compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 8–9% over the past decade to qualify for inclusion. One United’s placement in the top 10 indicates that it far exceeded this threshold, ranking alongside Europe’s most dynamic and resilient businesses.
One United’s recognition reflects both its financial growth and the growing maturity of Romania’s real estate sector, which is increasingly drawing international investor attention. For the company, the achievement signals not only its status as a domestic market leader, but also its position among the continent’s elite growth performers — an exceptional distinction for a listed property developer from the region.
