In June 2021, we published our first stage of Dainas residential development project. This financing stage was used to buy the land plot, together with notarial fees and taxes. As of today, it is officially owned by our Latvian SPV – Dainas Street 8 SIA. Considering that the real estate market in Baltics has grown exponentially in the past 5 years, the current market value of this land plot is estimated to be around 600 000 EUR.
During this time, the project of the building was updated, adding -1 floor for indoor parking and making the outside design more modern. The new project was approved by the Council of Riga city. Changes in the project required the renewal of the construction permit, which is now also approved. The indoor parking increased the costs of construction, but we decided to add it to the project as it increases the value of the building and makes the apartments more attractive for the buyer.
We have started the construction process with the following works:
– Executing the preparation works of the construction field;
– Digging and preparing the soil in order to install the piles;
– Installing the piles;
– Finalizing the groundworks and preparations for laying the strip foundation;
– Performing preparation works for concreting the strip foundations;
– Producing the reinforcement frames of the strip foundations;
– Installing the formwork;
Below you can see the visual updates of the land plot.
