Project description
and objectives:
|
The proposed project would finance the development, construction, letting and management of a Class A office development comprising 14,285 sqm of rentable area with underground and surface parking located in a prime location in New Belgrade. The Bank’s role will be to arrange a senior loan of €10.16 million consisting of an A/B loan structure with EBRD A Loan of €5.08 million and B Loan of €5.08 million provided by RZB-Raiffeisen Zentralbank Oesterreich AG.
|
Transition impact:
|
The project would assist in developing the Belgrade property market and would introduce a new product into the market with the construction of a modern Class A office building, meeting the growing demand for quality office space in the under-developed Serbian and Montenegrin market. In addition, it would provide for a long term loan thereby introducing new investment financing terms into Serbia and Montenegro, which are appropriate for commercial real estate transactions. Finally, the project would have a strong demonstration effect in the redevelopment of Belgrade following many years of under-investment and under-development during wartime hostilities in the 1990s.
