Built in the middle of the nineteenth century by baron Urban Petru of Monyoro, the mansion is located on the 79th National highway, on the road between Arad and Oradea, 28 km from Arad. In 1994, the mansion was completely renovated, and all the original architectural elements were preserved. The mansion provides the modern comfort, as it is connected to the water network, it has its own sewage and three gas central heating systems. There is an annex to the main building, equipped with all the standard utilities. As the yard is quite big, another house is being built, which will be used for residential purposes. In front of the mansion, there is a 50 sqm pool. There are thermal water springs at a depth of 700 m, which can be used to fill up the pool. Urban of Monyoro family was one of the important noble families of the Hungarian aristocracy. As mentioned in official records (1828), the first family member was Joseph Urban, and the family’s home was in Monyorod (today Manerau, Arad). The neoclassical mansion in Simand (only a few kilometers from Monyorod) was built in the second half of the 19th century. The mansion most likely belonged to Gyula Urban, the father of the most important member of the family, Peter Urban (1870-1935). Starting with the Eneolithic period up to the year 953 – when it is officially mentioned for the first time -, and on the modern times, Simand was one of the most important places in Transylvanian history. Moreover, in the 19th century, Simand was a strong economic hub, organizing fairs, having also present a strong Jewish community (in 1828 there were 400 Jewish people). For approximately 100 years, by the time when the mansion was built, the domain was owned by Urban of Monyoro family members. Most of them were high governors, politicians and even prefects in Arad county

Located at the intersection of Piața Libertății and Alba Iulia Street, this historic building, constructed in 1812 at the initiative of Toma Naum Makri, a Timisoara-based Aromanian merchant, stands as an architectural landmark of the city. Initially passed down to his daughter Persida, married Stoikov, the building was redesigned in 1900 by architect Lipót Baumhorn and has undergone various transitions – from being donated to the Aromanian-Serbian community to nationalization during the communist era. Today, it is privately owned. A distinctive feature of the façade is the sculpted Atlantes, a rare architectural motif in Romania with roots in European neoclassical style. Additionally, the building houses a remarkable historical element: the stone portal with Ionic columns at the entrance, which, according to urban legend, includes two elements that were originally Ottoman cannons captured by the Habsburg army in 1716. Recently restored, the main façade, woodwork, and roof have been fully renovated, and a proposed project aims to transform the building into a 4-star hotel with 80 rooms and conference halls. Originally designed with 40 rental spaces, the property remains highly versatile, making it ideal for uses such as a hotel, medical clinic, corporate headquarters, or commercial spaces on the ground floor and basement.

In a historic district of Timișoara, where tree-lined streets cradle memories of another era and where silence still carries the echo of elegance, stands a property that transcends time. With its classical façade adorned with carved columns, wrought-iron balconies, and detailed ornamentation, this building speaks of a period when architecture was not just functional, but expressive—a declaration of grace and stature. Yet beyond the noble silhouette of the past, something unexpected emerges: a bold, contemporary extension that blends glass, steel, and crisp geometry, a modern echo that doesn’t compete with the old, but elevates it. This is not simply a restored historic villa. It is a work of architectural dialogue. A refined interplay between what once was and what can be, where heritage meets innovation and the result is harmony, not contrast. Set on a plot of 466 sqm, with a total of 18 rooms and four private parking spaces, the property has been thoughtfully reimagined to accommodate the needs of today’s urban lifestyle. The historical wing preserves its proportions and craftsmanship, while the new construction opens itself to light, function, and movement. Together, they create a flexible space with immense personality. Inside, the ambiance is eclectic and human. Light dances through tall windows, bouncing off vibrant art pieces, curated furniture, and minimalist accents. Every room tells a different story, but all share a sense of ease and intentionality. Whether envisioned as a refined private clinic, a creative agency headquarters, a notary or law firm, or an executive residence with integrated working spaces, this property lends itself to purpose without ever sacrificing style. Positioned near the Carmen Sylva Park and the culturally rich Balcescu Square, the address offers more than convenience—it offers presence. Surrounded by stately villas, quiet gardens, and institutions of influence, this is a part of the city where visibility, charm, and access intersect. A place where tradition still shapes the rhythm of the streets, even as innovation pushes forward. What is for sale here is not just square meters or a central location. It is a setting—a refined stage for visionaries, professionals, and collectors of rare urban beauty. This is a building that invites you to take part in its next chapter, to bring your own narrative into its story, and to inhabit a space where time, design, and identity are beautifully, effortlessly entwined.
