European Convergence Property Company (ECPC) investment fund was considering offers from possible buyers of the Central Mall in Veliko Turnovo, the fund said, in a statement to the London stock exchange.

The sale was to be concluded in the beginning of 2008, investor.bg reported.

According to the ECPC statement, the mall was almost completely let out.

ECPC admitted that the construction suffered minor construction defects, which were being fixed by the constructor.

ECPC explained its withdrawal from Bulgaria and Romania with quoted "unprecedented investment interest" followed by a decrease in profitability of the market, investor.bg said.
