RETROSPECTIVE 2010 - Investments in RESIDENTIAL AND OFFICE SPACE that drew greatest attention of eKapija's users in 2010

eKapija's investment team has recently done an analysis and formed the rank list of investments and investment ideas that drew the greatest attention of eKapija's users in 2010. The results are very interesting, with plenty of surprises, so that we've decided to share this information with you.

Projects are classified into 12 categories and we are this time presenting top 16 investment in the category of RESIDENTIAL AND OFFICE SPACE.

When we published the article about investments in this category in 2010, we expressed a hope that the new list would include more projects from outside the territory of the capital city. However, the situation has not changed significantly, Belgrade is still the most interesting to both domestic and foreign investors.

The news that about 35,000 people move to Belgrade every year, which has recently been announced by the city authorities, is definitely not good and it is not surprising that the residential complex Stepa Stepanovic in Vozdovac drew the greatest attention of our readers in 2010. The attention of our users was also drawn by residential complexes in Kragujevac and Novi Sad, while foreign companies, banks in particular, were exclusively choosing locations in New Belgrade, Serbia's new "downtown", for their new homes in our country. There were also some projects on the other side of the river and some buildings got their old glory back.

What is interesting is that some futuristic concepts drew a great attention of users, one of which is the "space shuttle" solution of the Science Promotion Center in New Belgrade's Block 39, the construction of which should be finished in 2012.

People who love mountains, winter sports and our tradition were happy to read the news about completion of Sveti Simeon ethno-village on Kopaonik mountain.

Just like the last year, most projects are featured by technologically advanced and so-called "green" construction solutions, but the prices of buildings are now somewhat lower, making them more affordable than last year.

Stepa Stepanovic housing project

The first-ranked investment is, as it was expected, the housing project in the locations of former Stepa Stepanovic / 4. juli barracks in Vozdovac. Ever since it's implementation was announced, the project has been in the focus of the public because of an attractive price of housing space (maximum EUR 1,290 per square meter) and a big interest of construction companies, as well as because of a controversy - would it have been better if the state had entrusted private investors with implementation of that project and set the clear rules of the game? The public also wondered if the investor - the Building Directorate of Serbia, would be able to cover the expenses of construction of apartments, garages and outlets with the planned price or part of investment would have to be financed by all taxpayers.

According to the Directorate's latest announcements, the first 1,450 apartments will be ready for tenants until March 2012, while all 4,578 will be finished by the end of 2012. About 250 million euros will be invested in this project and about 30,000 people will get jobs. In exchange for the land it has allotted, the Army of Serbia will obtain about 1,000 apartments in the location of the former barracks.

The second-ranked investment is a residential-business complex in New Belgrade's Block 65, in which over 170 million euros will be invested by the Serbian-Russian company PSP Farman. Prices of apartments in this complex will be at least EUR 540 higher than the prices of apartments in the complex Stepa Stepanovic.

Construction should commence in the first months of this year, while the residential part of the complex, comprising a total of 514 housing units, should be finished in the first of five phases. The whole complex should be built in 2013, while residential space in the complex, situated at the corner of Omladinskih Brigada street and the future route of the Inner Semi-ring Road, will cost less than EUR 1,850 per square meter in the initial phase of purchase.

A modern facility, of which total net surface will be 18,000 square meters, will be situated in an attractive location in New Belgrade's Block 66a, in Djordja Stanojevica street. Located between Airport City and Belville, this seven-floor business building will be in the vicinity of the future main semi-ring road, that is, a new bridge that will connect that part of the city with Ada Ciganlija. When it comes to its contents, the building will comprise a bank office, a restaurant, a conference hall, training rooms, as well as a modern server room. Office space will be organized according to a modern principle of "open space" concept, and about 1,100 people will be working in that building.
