About the project owner:
The project owner's group of companies has the status of a trusted developer, operating for more than 13 years and well known in the Lithuanian market. Its subsidiaries have developed more than 20 mixed-use real estate projects. Over the last 4 years, in cooperation with PRO BRO Group, they have completed or are currently implementing 12 built-to-suit tunnel wash projects and are building the PRO BRO Group headquarters.
About the project:
The owner of the project has acquired a 4 752 sq. m plot of land in Latvia at 156 Vienibas st. in 2021. The developer plans to build a MIDI tunnel-type car wash. It will be built to 100% completion and rented for 36 months. At the end of the lease, the MIDI tunnel car wash will be sold. The planned sale price will be at least EUR 4 517 000 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 316 000 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.
Project progress:
The funds mobilised in the last phases are continuing to build the engineering infrastructure and foundations, and to shape the volume of the building. The building could be registered with the registry office at 90% completion.
Please note that the project will be financed in subsequent phases on the basis of the LTC indicator. The LTC ratio (Loan-to-cost) refers to the ratio between the loan and the total project cost. According to estimates confirmed by Colliers, the independent project manager of this project, the total project cost including the land acquisition cost is EUR 3 830 000. The project financing will be provided on the basis of the submitted acceptance of the construction works, to the account of the general contractor, within the maximum LTC of 64% and the maximum loan amount. No new valuation of the property will be carried out between the financing phases and the financing decision will be based on the certified acceptance of the works by the Building Surveyor and the evidence of the Client's payment of the equity share.
