Real Estate Development Insights
In the latest quarter, significant advancements were made in the Kalaranna development.

As of now, 68 units have been sold, and the overall sales rate has almost reached 60%. This positive momentum reflects the increasing demand for residential properties in sought-after areas.
In Kristiine City, Pro Kapital is progressing with plans for four different projects, demonstrating a commitment to expanding its portfolio:
Project Overview

Riga and Vilnius Developments
In Riga, the firm is preparing for the next development phase at Kliversala, the Blue Marine project which consists of 101 residential units. With a dedicated construction team now in place, groundbreaking is slated for July. The Group is set to gain traction in pre-sales as interest from prospective buyers grows.
