The infrastructure of Industrial Park Markovo will be completed in the next few months. The internal road network, the availability of electricity and sewage system in the industrial park will ensure the fast realization of the production, logistics and commercial activities of the future owners. The project has a total area of 158,000 sq. m and offers various development opportunities depending on the needs of future investors -  sale of plots and development of industrial projects according to a specific assignment. Thanks to the various plot sizes and the possibility to be separated and merged, the project is extremely attractive for both small and large industries, and companies, operating in the field of logistics and distribution. Industrial Park Markovo is located on the ring road of Plovdiv, a few kilometers from Trakia Highway, next to the Customs Plovdiv and only a few kilometers away from the newly built Intermodal terminal. The location of Industrial Park Markovo is of a strategic importance for companies planning an investment in the region. The “Road Infrastructure Agency” at the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works plans for development of the region include a project for the construction of road junction “semi-clover”, which will further facilitate the access to cross-border roads. Large companies are choosing Plovdiv region as the basis for their industrial and logistic activities more often, because of the developed infrastructure and production opportunities in the area. Investors interest in Plovdiv is provoked by the availability of workforce not only in the city but also in surrounding areas. Universities and specialized technical professional high schools in Plovdiv provide well-trained, competitive and skilled labor. During the past year there has been a serious interest in the area of Plovdiv from both Bulgarian and foreign companies. Proof of this are the realized sales of sold plots in Industrial Park Markovo.

For another year in a row, Galaxy Investment Group was participant at the most prestigious real estate forum in Bulgaria – BalRec. In the panel “Residential Buildings” Martin Dragoev, Director Investment and Sales, presented the dynamics of the housing market in Plovdiv, and the requirements of the clients buying residential properties. During the discussion in the panel were mentioned many advantages of the newly started Royal Garden project, which include its location in a neighborhood with excellent infrastructure and vast green areas, spacious apartments with excellent floor plan, as well as other amenities and services in the residential park, which will provide maximum comfort to its future occupants. At the conference it has become clear, that the clients are no longer interested only in the size of the apartments, but also in the environment in which they live in – not only the complexes, but also the respective neighborhood. During the panel dedicated to the housing market, the representatives of the business confirmed the opinion, that the investors and the municipalities must improve their relations and work together, which would create an improved environment, where the buildings would fit in the overall architecture of the neighborhoods. The expectations in the sector for the coming year are positive, as in Plovdiv there will be segmented demand of predominantly big apartments. The development of the industrial sector in the region will result in increased demand of furnished apartments to be given for rent.

Two main trends on renting industrial plots were highlighted at the National Conference for Industrial property. The Conference, organised by BGSKLAD, took place on 18.10.2017 in Plovdiv. Leading representatives of the business field and Government Institutions participated in the discussions related to the development opportunities for the industrial projects in Bulgaria. The conference has made it clear that more and more investors are choosing to rent industrial properties that are built to suit. Another possibility that was presented is to rent fully finished warehouses, which, however, often prove to be non-functional for the respective business. The trend for investors to rent long-term rather than to buy industrial plots also remains this year. Among the most preferred locations is Plovdiv, characterized as the industrial capital of Bulgaria due to its strategic location and low operating costs in the region. One of the leading projects, that was highlighted during the conference, was Industrial Park Markovo, owned by Galaxy Investment Group. The project is preferred because of its favorable location and the ability to respond fully to the needs of the future investors. The company provides extremely good and flexible conditions and a favorable environment for business development. Industrial Park Markovo is located on the ring road of Plovdiv, only 14 km from Trakia Highway. Its total area is 158,000 sq. m and consists of different plots, facing the main road and capable of meeting investors' needs.  Galaxy Investment Group offers the opportunity for development of industrial projects according to a specific assignment, as well as professional property management.
