Total number of houses of ALL competing projects is less than 500 during the next 2-3 years. • Possibility to adjust project scale and phases to sales development to reduce sales risks. This provides more flexibility in the project development compared to multistory residential building development, which in current market conditions requires entire building completion before starting sales, thus increasing sales risks. • 1 sq.m. prices of the multistory residential buildings are similar to the project proposed prices of USD 800-1000. We expect to sell to potential medium market apartment buyers by proposing very competitive and much more attractive lifestyle alternative.
