German company Lidl has invested in a "spacious and modern logistics and administrative base" outside Sofia, in a project which will cost a total of 25 million euro.

The facility will cover 138 000 sq m in Ravno Pole, Elin Pelin municipality, and once it is complete, it will serve as the general headquarters of Lidl in Bulgaria, "serving, co-ordinating, administering and distributing all Lidl needs in the country." Dnevnik daily said.

"The complex will be built in accordance with the German company's quality standards and in accord with Bulgarian legislation," the company said.

The preliminary investment in the enterprise has been estimated at 25 million euro, though figures are by no means final.

The facility will be close to the Trakiya Highway and the Sofia Ring Road. The auxiliary infrastructure around the facility and lanes leading to and from the motorway plus the parking area will be constructed at Lidl's expense as well.

Lidl's new logistics and administrative base will consist of 42 409 sq m of warehouse and office space area, an outdoor parking area for 279 motor vehicles, a secondary parking lot designated to accommodate 36 lorries and 37 per cent of green belts surrounding the complex.

The project has been approved for construction, but no completion date has been disclosed.
