In the Bulgarian capital, the fund is developing gated communities in the Vitosha, Simeonovo and Krastova Vada boroughs. The first project was completed in 2007 while the other five are expected to be completed during 2009. One of these projects is still at the foundation stage.

In 2006, the fund purchased a total of 121 420 sq m of agricultural land just outside the village of Banya (Razlog municipality) for 2.76 million euro. The Banya project is expected to involve the construction of a first-class holiday village consisting of chalets and upmarket apartments.
