Birmingham-based property developer Cordia UK has strengthened its team with a series of promotions and appointments to drive forward its active sites across the region.

With the ambition to transform underutilised areas in the West Midlands into thriving neighbourhoods with contemporary residential spaces and independent commercial hubs, Cordia UK has an ambitious and exciting pipeline of build-to-rent, build-to-sell and shared living projects. 

Driving forward the company’s strategy and delivery, András Kárpáti has been promoted to Chief Executive Officer, following almost three years at Cordia UK in roles as co-CEO and Deputy Managing Director & Capital Markets Director.

He relocated to Birmingham in 2021, having previously worked as International Project Director at Cordia International in Budapest since 2019. 

Supporting the delivery of Cordia UK’s developments is Anita Reindl, who recently joined the team as Project Manager. Anita brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in project management, having worked on multiple projects simultaneously since the start of her career in 2021. This includes the delivery of six projects with a total of circa 900 units while in her previous role as Senior Project Co-Ordinator at Cordia International in Budapest.
