• We are pleased to announce that the PRO BRO car wash has already opened its doors: Marking the successful implementation of a project that began in October 2023. The project started according to plan and is now open for business.
• Eco-conscious business: MIDI-type tunnel car washes minimize environmental impact, with over 80% of water being treated and reused, and the car wash generating about half of its required electricity from solar panels installed on its roofs. This conserves the environment and reduces operating costs.
• The project owner's strong commitment and firm belief in the project's success are evident by his investment of about 37% of his own funds, or roughly EUR 1.6 million.
• Long-term stability and reliable profits: Ensured through a 50-year lease agreement for the MIDI tunnel washer with PRO BRO operations SIA. This lease guarantees an annual income of EUR 316 000 excluding VAT.

Project Rating (Project Loss Risk): AA. This rating is consistent with the previous project rating of A-.

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 4 517 829 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 were used to continue the installation of the engineering infrastructure and foundations, and to shape the volume of the building. The building could be registered with the registry office at 100% 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.
