KAIA, Germasogeia, Limassol

Square One is a Cyprus real-estate development and investment group headquartered in Limassol, with a further office in London. Founded in 2021, it was built around a single thesis: deliver investment-grade residential product in Limassol, priced for yield and aimed at international capital. It runs a fully integrated platform — in-house development, architecture, sales, legal and post-sale management — led by managing director Demetris Papadopoulos alongside a team drawn from architecture, engineering, quantity surveying and finance. Its output is mostly boutique-to-mid apartment buildings with rooftop gardens and pools, plus selective commercial and hospitality schemes, concentrated almost entirely in Limassol with one project in Paphos.

Germasogeia (Yermasoyia) is Limassol's premium coastal-east district and the beating heart of expat Cyprus, a stretch of seafront on the eastern edge of the city that carries the island's busiest tourist strip. The coastal zone — Potamos Germasogeias, along Kolonakiou and Georgiou A' avenues — is a wall of beachfront hotels, beach clubs, restaurants and nightlife backed by modern apartments and gated residences, while the older Germasogeia village inland offers quieter, family-oriented streets and easy A1 access. It is the address most international buyers know: Dasoudi Beach and its Blue-Flag, eucalyptus-and-pine park sit on its doorstep, and its residents are among Cyprus's most international — British, Russian, Ukrainian, Israeli, Lebanese and a fast-growing wave of remote tech workers — which keeps rental demand deep and year-round. For overseas buyers the framework is straightforward: any nationality can own freehold property in Cyprus, with title held at the Land Registry (Department of Lands & Surveys) and contract lodgment giving specific-performance protection; non-EU buyers obtain routine Council of Ministers approval (typically 2–3 months). A qualifying new primary-market purchase from EUR 300,000 (plus EUR 50,000/yr income from abroad) opens EU permanent residency — a residence permit, not citizenship. Prices are quoted in euros, English is widely spoken, and English common law underpins conveyancing.
