In an exclusive interview, Pavlos Economou, Founder of Areticap, shares how pragmatic urban strategies can breathe new life into Nicosia’s property market and civic spaces. From tackling long-term commercial vacancies with smart incentives to modernising outdated F&B licensing processes, Pavlos outlines actionable steps that could help the city centre compete on vibrancy rather than convenience.
He highlights the importance of cultural activation, proposing dedicated public performance zones and community-driven initiatives to reimagine Nicosia’s streets as places of everyday creativity and connection. For Areticap, investment is not just financial but civic — rooted in building value for properties and the ecosystems that surround them.
Looking ahead, Pavlos stresses that meaningful change does not always require new budgets, but rather coordination, vision, and the removal of unnecessary barriers. His vision is clear: a revitalised, inclusive Nicosia where business, culture, and community thrive together.
