The TOON EXPO. Invest 2026 Vol. 2 international exhibition has opened in Yerevan, bringing together more than 100 real estate and investment companies under one roof. Projects from more than 10 countries are on display, from Armenia to Dubai and from Cyprus to Spain. Interest has been unprecedented, with more than 45,000 visitors registering before the exhibition opened.
“TOON EXPO is a platform that creates favourable conditions for everyone involved. Businesses achieve much more quickly what would normally take months, while buyers have the opportunity to purchase property at significantly lower prices. All the major banks are also represented at this year’s exhibition, offering substantially lower mortgage interest rates.
“The previous TOON EXPO, held in March this year, attracted more than 20,000 visitors, of whom 2,000 subsequently completed notarised transactions. We do not count preliminary reservations. We tally the results only two to three months later, once we have the final figures. This time, we expect the number of transactions to exceed 5,000,” said Diana Haroyan, co-founder and public relations lead at Big Projects.
Alongside residential and investment property projects, the exhibition features solutions for the construction and energy sectors. One of the exhibitors, Profenergy, offers end-to-end construction services, from design to building and renovation. The company handles the entire process of building and renovating buildings, residential developments and flats, managing and coordinating the work under a single power of attorney.
Energy efficiency and the use of alternative energy are becoming increasingly important in modern construction. WELES Solar is showcasing its solutions in this area and has brought new electricity storage systems to this edition of TOON EXPO. The systems allow electricity to be stored after generation and used when needed.
Effective building management is another important part of modern residential living. BOON develops building management systems that help homeowners’ associations organise maintenance and manage their buildings more efficiently.
The expo also focuses on the international property market and investment opportunities. Among the proposals on display are ways to earn passive income from property. One example is the Wyndham hotel complex under construction in Tsaghkadzor. Under the proposed model, investors buy a hotel room, hand it over to the operator to manage and earn passive rental income. According to the company, annual income could reach around 17 million drams.
When choosing a property, buyers consider what the flat offers and how much it costs, as well as the surroundings, infrastructure and leisure options. The Mountain Village project in Dilijan reflects this approach. It is designed as a residential community that combines a place to live with opportunities to relax in nature.
Effective management is an important part of property development, alongside the design and delivery of a project. TOON EXPO exhibitor VGM Projects offers management services for construction and property development projects. The company coordinates the various stages of each project to keep the work organised.
Admission is free for all visitors, and advance registration is required. Free shuttle buses will run from Republic Square to Meridian every half hour.
