Financing for the project will be provided by Swedbank through an agreement made with JSC Investmira, a subsidiary fund of investment management company Lords LB Asset Management.
“We are happy to contribute to this project, which is so unique in terms of its architecture and location in the city. Lords LB Asset Management has an excellent track record of launching and managing new properties, therefore we trust their vision and work. They give a great deal of thought to public spaces, which is critical, given the general layout of the city and comfort of its residents,” said Martynas Trimonis, head of real estate clients division at Swedbank Lithuania.

“This part of the city has been changing beyond recognition. It attracts new businesses, which will work in the newly built business centers, as well as tourists, who will be able to try out a Radisson RED hotel, which boasts a unique concept and is the first Radisson RED in this region. The management contract, signed with Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, will further increase the sustainability of the project.”
