Spanish company Ferry Group will invest nearly one billion euro in one real estate and one energy project.
The company focused its investment plans on tourism, real estate and agriculture as the key economy sectors in Bulgaria, head of Ferry Group Manuel Ferry Sanchez said.
The value of each project can reach up to 500 million euro, investor.bg reported.
The real estate project initially included the construction of only a golf course near Sofia region village of Kutina. Planned investment later increased to between 400 to 500 million euro.
Besides the golf course the company plans to develop an entire satellite village, offering apartments, villas and one-family houses. The village will feature a big five-star hotel and sports facilities and will cover an area of nearly 400 000 sq m.
Ferry Group's Green Energy project envisions the cultivation of tree species for obtaining biomass and processing refuse plant products for the production of eco-fuel.
The company will search for suitable terrains for the project near the towns of Vidin, Montana and Lom.
The Black Sea town of Pomorie has approved a proposal for the construction of a spacious and modern marina, with a capacity of over 600 yachts and small passenger ships.
Over the course of a year, from one of the leaders in Europe in new construction, Bulgaria became one of the countries currently quagmired at the bottom of the table and was now amongst the three worst hit countries, along with Romania and Slovenia.
The park is posed to act as an economic stimulant in the region, creating a modern infrastructural base for companies. It is set for completion by Q3 of 2010.
Both retailers target at least 50 outlets in Bulgaria by the end of 2010.
When will Bulgaria’s real estate and construction sector recover?
