“This year we’ve focused heavily on the buildings of the former Communications Palace along Palangos and Vilniaus Streets. At the start of the year, we publicly presented design proposals for this reconstruction project. The Vilnius City municipality recently approved those proposals and issued the design requirements for renovating the complex. Having obtained the design requirements, we are moving on to the next stage of the development – preparation of the technical design for the buildings’ reconstruction,” says Vytautas Bakšinskas, the real estate fund manager at INVL Asset Management, which manages INVL Baltic Real Estate.
He said significant advances were also made during the first half of the year in developing the property at Vilniaus Street 37.
“Architectural, historical and polychrome studies of this distinctive building in the Old Town of Vilnius were completed, all demonstrating its value. After completing that phase of the work, we are continuing preparation of the refurbishment project. The value of the property was further boosted by a transaction completed in early June to acquire the shares of the company RE 1, following which INVL Baltic Real Estate become the sole owner of the facilities at Vilniaus Street 37,” Vytautas Bakšinskas notes.
One of INVL Baltic Real Estate’s latest transactions was a sale of real estate completed in early July. Dommo Grupa, which is owned by the real estate investment company and is developing the 58-hectare (ha) Dommo Logistics and Industrial Park beside Riga, completed the sale of a 3.4-ha plot of land for EUR 0.4 million.
According to the real estate fund manager, INVL Baltic Real Estate will pursue further gains for investors from investments in commercial real estate by ensuring growth of operating income and cost optimization. The fund’s assets under management provide reasonable expectation of continuing growth in property value.
