Nemunaičiai setting the bar high!🚀 Following the launch of the second phase of the "Nemunaičiai" project in early October, not only has the final apartment in the first buildings been sold, but 25% of the units in the residential "Pasaka" project have already been reserved. "Kaunas is strategically leveraging its strengths, attracting both growing businesses and residents. The city excels in providing high-quality services, improving transport connectivity, and making swift decisions. It's also focused on future growth – central urban development is crucial, offering a mix of residential and commercial spaces where essential services are easily accessible, and living and working environments are close together," says Andrius Mikalauskas, CEO of SBA Urban. This ambition is embodied in the Nemunaičiai project, with strong market interest confirming its appeal. Since reservations and construction began, 25% of the 95 units have already been reserved. By mid-October, 100% of the first phase – 146 apartments – had been sold. As the market fills with new, modern homes, they attract not only Kaunas residents but also those who have been seeking reasons to return, both to Kaunas and Lithuania. Some new homeowners will return to Kaunas and Nemunaičiai after a decade abroad, while their neighbor, a Lithuanian living overseas, is securing a comfortable permanent residence here. Quality real estate helps bring Lithuanians back from abroad, and it’s great to see Vilnius residents also choosing to live or invest in this vibrant new neighborhood," adds Viktorija Pozingyte, Head of Sales at SBA Urban's company developing Nemunaičiai. We’re creating a lively, ever-surprising new center in Kaunas! For more, follow the links in the comments below. #Nemunaičiai #KaunasAtItsBest #UrbanDevelopment #RealEstate

Endless potential! Recently, Lithuanian Real Estate Development Association, Kaunas IN , REGO Group, and Urban HUB Kaunas brought together Kaunas' real estate community for a dynamic discussion on the city's real estate market. Experts shared insights on the current state of the housing and office markets and explored emerging trends. During the panel "What Real Estate Does Kaunas Need the Most?", Kasparas Juška, Head of Investment at SBA Urban, provided a glimpse into future projects that will reshape the city's landscape. "Kaunas' long-term potential is closely tied to its growing population, which has been steadily increasing in recent years. While the city is making significant strides in infrastructure development to enhance quality of life, Kaunas' city center still holds tremendous untapped potential. We believe that the @Nemunaičiai district, created by SBA Urban, will unlock this potential, offering a modern, vibrant urban space for living, working, and leisure right in the heart of Kaunas," said K. Juška. Key takeaways from the discussion: ✅Kaunas is reconnecting with its rivers, and it's essential to urbanize these areas and build enough bridges to link both sides of the city. ✅There is a need for large-scale, mixed-use developments that offer the convenience of living, working, and leisure in one place. ✅The professional housing rental market in Kaunas also has room for development and it would meet the needs of residents. ✅Finally, engaging the community is vital to creating and managing the city's future.

Delivering for our investors! 🤝 SBA Urban's subsidiary UAB Kopų Slėnis has successfully redeemed a €3.3 million private bond issue, which was used for the development of a prime resort apartment project in Palanga.   "We offered investors an opportunity to participate in a high-quality and liquid project in an exclusive seaside location in Lithuania. With SBA Urban team successfully and promptly completing the development, we justified the trust of more than 50 investors in the project, who realized a 9% annual return" says Kasparas Juška, Head of Investments at SBA Urban.   While the bond issue terms allowed to borrow up to €6.5 million, due to successful sales in the project only a part of the issue – €3.3 million – was raised over two stages.
