Trade-industrial parks to grow throughout Bulgaria

Mon, Sep 01 2008 17:29 CET byElitsa Grancharova 139 Views

Property developer Investra will construct trade-industrial parks to accommodate trade, retail and office spaces throughout Bulgaria. They will be built on different-sized plots, varying from four to 15ha, Bulgarian-language daily Dnevnik reported on September 1. All large Bulgarian cities will have such parks, including Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Bourgas, Rousse, Stara Zagora, Pleven and Blagoevgrad.

The first trade-industrial park will be constructed in Plovdiv. The area that was bought for the construction is bordered to the north by the main road connecting Trakiya Highway with the city; on the south it is bordered by a road that services many already-existing industrial zones. The Plovdiv park will be on about 50 000 sq km and will have more than 700 places for car parking and 80 spaces for freight vehicles.

Sofia-based Investra will put about 20 million leva into the construction of the trade-industrial park in the northern city of Pleven. Pleven mayor Naiden Zelenogorski and Investra executive director Georgi Roussev concluded the deal at a working meeting on September 1 2008.

The company bough 2.5ha of land at the entrance to Pleven in the direction of village of Opanets, near the Metro store that is currently being constructed. Construction of the park is expected to begin in 2009.
