Nikita Kobzev

Nikita Kobzev leads sales and commercial at Square One, a Limassol-based real estate developer and investment group founded family in 2017. Square One has grown into one of Cyprus's most active players in residential, mixed-use, and hospitality development, with a large live project pipeline on the island. More recently the group has evolved beyond pure development into institutional investment, launching an opportunistic real estate fund to back the next cycle of Cyprus residential - giving Nick a seat at both the deal floor and the capital stack.

Over the past several years working at the intersection of property sales and cross-border investment, he has partnered with buyers and capital across Cyprus, the CIS, and emerging lifestyle markets including Indonesia, Thailand, and Costa Rica. That gives him a practitioner's view of how global investors actually choose between jurisdictions, products, and hold strategies - translating priorities like yield, liquidity, residency, and lifestyle into concrete product and transaction decisions.

He speaks on the shifting profile of the international real estate buyer, the comparative case for Cyprus against other lifestyle-and-investment destinations, and what developers and funds get right (and wrong) when serving a truly global audience.
