The average price of lodgings in older buildings in the centre of Plovdiv has nearly doubled over the past year, investor.bg quoted Europolis real estate agency as saying.
In the end of June 2008, a sq m in the city centre cost 900 euro, while a year earlier the price was 520 euro.
According to the company, apartments in newly built buildings currently cost 770 to 1000 euro a sq m, but near-future prices of up to 1800 euro per sq m were not improbable.
The price increase for old constructions was a result of the recent development of property market, while newly constructed apartments had become more expensive because of the price increase of construction materials, the company said.
Europolis predicted a slight increase in the prices of property in new developments by the end of the year.
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.

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.
