About the project:
The owner of the project has acquired a 5 920 sq. m plot of land in Latvia at 100 Mūkusalas Street in 2021. The developer plans to build a MAXI tunnel-type car wash, which will serve about 220 cars per hour, with access from both sides. It will be built to 100% completion and rented for 36 months. At the end of the lease, the MAXI tunnel car wash will be sold. The planned sale price will be at least EUR 5 185 714 excluding VAT.
There is also a 50-year non-cancellable lease agreement with PRO BRO operations SIA, which obliges the project owner to pay EUR 363 000 per year in rental income, excluding VAT, in the first year of operation. This amount will be indexed annually to the Latvian CPI (inflation). There is no ceiling for indexation. The agreement shall enter into force upon handover of the premises to the tenant. The shares of the company in the carwash building will be sold afterwards. A refinancing of the project with a Latvian bank has now been agreed. The expected date of refinancing is until 15 September 2024.
