Investment fund SECURE Investment Ltd has announced plans to invest nearly 150 million euro in South Eastern Europe, focusing on Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia.
Forty per cent of the fund is owned by Italian investment company Aedes Investissement. In February 2007 it announced plans to invest in the property market in Central and Eastern Europe, investor.bg reported.
The company's strategy envisions investment in partnership with a construction contractor or other investors in residential development projects.
Aedes's participation in SECURE Investment is worth 20 million euro and the company expects a 22 per cent return on investment.
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?
