Colliers International Bulgaria announced on November 7 2007 that it had concluded, what it called the largest ever logistics and industrial transaction in Bulgaria for 22 000 sq m warehouse space in Bulgaria's capital.
The deal was for a warehouse space and logistics centre at the industrial park Sofia East for distributor Kaven Orbico, a Colliers media statement said. Industrial park Sofia East is an industrial development project in the Elin Pelin municipality, around 20 km from Sofia.
Atanas Garov, managing director of Colliers Bulgaria, said, "I am very proud that our Industrial and Logistics team has made history in Bulgaria with this landmark transaction."
The centre would be developed in three stage within as many years and would gradually be occupied. When completed, the logistics centre would provide facilities including international-standard dry warehouse and cold storage, office premises and parking, the media statement said.
Investors realise that it’s not viable to have a building remaining empty over the course of a year – so it's better for them to employ more flexibility to offset that loss.
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?
