Golden Hillside

Opportunity

The Site is about 42.000m² out of which, by the local urban planning conditions, about 11.000m² is set aside for internal roads and other infrastructure and therefore is not included in the sale. A total of 31.155m² is offered for sale on which new developments totalling GBA of 38.000m² can be developed. The current owners refer to it as the “Golden Hillside” because of the beautiful sun settings which paint the Site in golden-yellowish colours every day.

The current market price for residential properties of this type is between €2.500-3.500 depending on the level of luxury. We estimate the exit value of the project is between €90-120 million. The price of the Site is set at €8,5 million which is less then 10% of the value of the project. Details of our project calculation values are set out in the sale prospectus which we will send you upon your request.

Market

Montenegro is an independent and sovereign country, defined as a “civic, democratic, ecological state and state of social justice, based on the rule of law”. “Montenegro” in Montenegrin means “Black Mountain” which is associated with its wild beauty and natural resources. Montenegro’s natural wealth is very diverse combining mountains and seaside. On one side, the seaside of Montenegro is famous for the Boka Bay and city of Kotor (UNESCO), number of attractive islands, bays and clear water and in which, one of the pre-selected developments, the Portonovi Development is located. On the other side there are numerous mountains with lakes, canyons with attractive sceneries, rivers, all of which represent untouched nature. Considering its size, all these attractions are compactly located very close to each other. There are five national parks in Montenegro: Biogradska Gora, Durmitor, Lovcen, Prokletije and Skadar Lake, as well as several regional nature parks. National parks occupy 9% of country’s territory which makes Montenegro a world leader.

Montenegro's economy is transitioning to a market system. Since regaining its independence in 2006, Montenegro has adopted a legal framework that encourages privatisation, employment and exports. As of 2015, around 90% of Montenegrin state-owned companies have been privatized, including 100% of banking, telecommunications, and oil distribution.

Montenegro uses Euro (€) as the official currency. All borrowings, trades and payments are executed in Euro. Therefore, there is no currency risk involved.

Montenegro is one of the fastest growing tourist destination in the Mediterranean. Tourism development focuses on the luxury and upmarket holiday segment. The Government is trying to develop Montenegro as an all year-round holiday destination.

It is also low cost, low taxation jurisdiction with liberal travel, visa regime and immigration policy. The corporate tax in Montenegro is 9%, VAT 21%. Foreign companies have the same status as Montenegrin companies. Montenegro offers tax reliefs on foreign source income under an extensive network of double taxation avoidance treaties.

Tourism and investment will receive a special boost after adoption of the Montenegro Citizen by Investment scheme which started on 1st October 2018. Wealthy individuals will be able to acquire economic citizenship upon investment in Montenegro which includes residential property purchase.
