While the initial plan was to start with the construction works immediately after acquiring the land plot, the start of the construction works was postponed due to high cost of construction materials this project requires. The costs of these construction materials have decreased severely over the past year, and we have also changed the management of our Latvian branch, bringing in more expertise to execute this size development plan.
Current Status
We are delighted to announce the continuation of our development of the Seven Heaven project, an exciting investment opportunity which aims to construct a modern and thriving residential complex in the heart of Riga, tailored to meet the current market demands. Our project has made progress in the preparation phase, and with your support, we are eager to embark on the journey of turning this vision into a reality.
The groundwork for the project has been laid out. Preparation works, including site cleaning and waste disposal, are successfully completed, providing a clear and ready-to-develop land plot. Additionally, we made and continue to make significant efforts to update and revise project documentation, and to start with, the zero-cycle (construction stage 1 of the project) project documentation to align it with current market needs, ensuring the project’s viability and competitiveness.
We have conducted and continue to receive offers for various parts of zero-cycle works, ensuring the engagement of skilled and reputable contractors for the execution of the project. To foster transparency, retain control of the process and decrease the construction cost, we will implement an open-book approach for the zero-cycle (construction stage 1 of the project).
Planned Development Works and Funding Needs
The primary focus of the first construction stage of development is to erect the zero-cycle for the whole project, which includes the construction pile field, the foundation, underground floor works and underground parking for up to 50 parking places. To achieve this, the project will require funding of approximately 1.5 million EUR, which also includes various costs associated with construction, permits, running the site and other operational expenses. Additionally, the existing funding will be refunded and prolonged until the end of the development project, totalling our investment into the first construction stage and along with all costs of up to 2.5 mill EUR by summer 2024.
To ensure an efficient and well-managed funding process, we have structured the financing into multiple tranches of 200,000 EUR each. This approach facilitates a systematic allocation of resources, minimizing financial risks and ensuring steady progress throughout the project.
