J.W. Construction Bulgaria EOOD, a Bulgarian subsidiary of the Holding, finalised the purchase of a property in Zlatni Pyasatsi, Bulgaria, on Thursday, April 17, 2008. The plot of land of more than 14.500 sq m in area will be used for residential construction.
The property was purchased from S-Travel AD for € 7.8m (i.e. the equivalent of approx. PLN 26.7m at the average NBP exchange rate ruling on April 17, 2008). The Company purchased the plot inclusive of an architectural design and a final construction permit. Twenty three-, four- or five-storey buildings of the total area of 17,700 sq m will be erected on the plot. There will be an underground car park under the buildings.
“We are going to build a holiday apartment complex in Zlatni Pyasatsi, the so-called second homes, which are growing in popularity among well-to-do clients. We will be offering those apartments through our sales offices in Poland, Russia, London, and a dedicated real estate company based in Varna, Bulgaria. We are also holding talks with a recognised Polish company which sells properties on the Bulgarian, Polish and Russian markets“ explains Jerzy Zdrzałka, President of the Management Board of J.W. Construction Holding S.A.
Both the construction project and apartment sales are scheduled to begin in October 2008, just after the holiday season. No construction work may be carried out in the resort from May through October. Kurortno Stroitelstvo, a Bulgarian contractor will be the general contractor. The Bulgarian company is working together with the Company on certain construction projects in Warsaw and Krynica. The construction project is scheduled for completion in early 2010.

The legal form of the company, incorporated and existing under the laws of Bulgaria, is equivalent to the Polish private limited company (spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością). J.W. Construction Holding S.A. acquired 500 shares, of BGN 10 par value each and the total par value of BGN 5,000.
