Ambitious Belarusian projects on real estate discussed at exhibition in Cannes

20 ноября 2014

Today the investment opportunities in our country and the most ambitious projects were discussed at the largest real estate exhibition in Cannes.


Gary Burouz, deputy director IOOO Zomex Investment, head of commercial real estate management: Our success story has lasted for four decades. Dana Holdings implements projects from Belgrade to Baghdad, from Minsk to Moscow. We started our work in Belarus with a successful project Minsk Lighthouse. This is a million square meters. The complex Minsk-World is still in plans. It includes 3 million square meters of housing, office and retail space.


The complex will be built on the territory of the former airport Minsk-1. The interest to the Belarusian project is huge, and this is understandable.


The highlight of the complex Minsk World will be an international financial center, one of the largest in Europe. According to the plans, it will become a meeting place for the business interests of the East and West.


Fabrice Rossi, head of exhibitions MIPIM and MAPIC for Eastern Europe: We are particularly pleased that the exhibition this year became a place of presentation of new complexes. Minsk World is truly unique. And such projects help to attract new investors and positively influence the development of the economy as a whole.


While the Minsk World is a concept on paper, another project of Dana Holdings - Minsk Lighthouse - is an already existing living space for thousands of Belarusians. The idea of a city within a city implies that the complex will have the entire infrastructure for a comfortable life, including a school, shops, and a shopping and entertainment center Dana Mall.


Next year's competition of the best commercial real estate projects will be held in Minsk.


Craig Smith, CEO and founder of EuropaProperty: Let me solemnly declare: on March 26-27, 2015, Minsk will host the first award ceremony North Eastern Europe Real Estate Awards, organized by the group of companies Dana Holdings.


It is planned that this forum will also bring together the most influential players of the European construction market, and perhaps many of them, as well as the Dana Holdings, will discover Belarus as an ideal platform for investment.
