https://www.ekathimerini.com/economy/1173243/reds-tables-highest-offer-for-crete-military-base/
Greek developer Reds has offered the highest bid for a sprawling former US military base on Crete at 40.2 million euros, privatization agency TAIPED said on Monday.
Four investors bid in October to acquire the 85-acre plot in Gournes, outside the city of Iraklio, and turn it into a seaside tourist resort with an entertainment park.
TAIPED, which is handling the sale, initially chose three of them and last month unsealed their offers.
The Company notes also the recent announcement of the sale of an 85 acre plot of land on the North Coast of Crete near Heraklion for a sum of EUR40m. This plot carries the right to build approximately 59,000 m2 the main use of which will be tourism and will include a casino, hotel and residential accommodation.
Wakey-wakey Arsenal!!
A profound effect on the company's future:
Strategic Investments planned on land owned by Ecclesiastical Foundations are now to be allowed to use "Epiphania", a right which can most easily described as akin to an English ground lease, and which provides a mechanism to achieve terms of up to 99 years. The use of Epiphania would enhance significantly the ability of investors to finance their investments through the banking system;
Continued)
The Board of Minoan regards these developments as being of the utmost importance and relevance in terms of the Company's immediate outlook. In particular, there are three areas where the changes provided for in the new Legislation are likely to have a direct, significant and beneficial effect on the progress of the Project.
These are:
a) Strategic Investments planned on land owned by Ecclesiastical Foundations are now to be allowed to use "Epiphania", a right which can most easily described as akin to an English ground lease, and which provides a mechanism to achieve terms of up to 99 years. The use of Epiphania would enhance significantly the ability of investors to finance their investments through the banking system;
b) The law provides for a procedure to allow for changes to business plans previously approved by the Government; and
c) Building permit pre-approvals will be granted centrally rather than through the relevant local authority.
Minister of Development Adonis Georgiadis said, "The aim is for the interested investor to follow the development of his investment plan through his mobile phone. The main goal with the changes in these procedures is now to reduce to 60 days the settlement of applications (investment plans) and 100 days for the final submission for an investment law, something that previously needed up to two and a half years."
The law provides for additional benefits for Strategic Investments, including tax incentives, grants, the use of coastal land and the adjacent sea bed, provisions for auxiliary infrastructure as well as other changes to ensure easier and faster progress through the bureaucracy.
Greece
In the last few months it has become clear that the Greek economy has rebounded strongly after the last financial crisis and the worst effects of the pandemic, recording growth of in excess of 13% in quarter 3 of 2021 (increased tourism). On a seasonally adjusted basis, Greece grew at 2.7% compared to the Eurozone average of 2.2%.
Most sectors of the Greek real estate market have become more active in the last 12 months. Residential property prices have shown significant growth of over 8% year on year after growth of over 10% in the previous year.
The Company notes also the recent announcement of the sale of an 85 acre plot of land on the North Coast of Crete near Heraklion for a sum of EUR40m. This plot carries the right to build approximately 59,000 m2 the main use of which will be tourism and will include a casino, hotel and residential accommodation.
The Legislation referred to above will be followed by a new Development Law, which will set out the details of new and revised incentives for investors and investments. This is expected shortly.
Chairman's Comment
"I am extremely pleased by the changes brought about by the new Law on Strategic Investments, which will be complemented by the new Development Law. Taken together with the numerous changes to planning laws
Update on new Law on Strategic Investments
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the UK version of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended ("MAR"). Upon the publication of this announcement via a Regulatory Information Service, this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain.
Highlights
-- Passing of long-awaited new legislation in Greece relating, inter-alia, to inward investment into the country, likely to have significant benefits for Minoan's Itanos Gaia Project in Crete (the "Project");
-- Commercial, regulatory, and legal framework created as a result of the new legislation, designed to maximise attractiveness of Greece as a market for international investors, whilst minimising planning and administration timetables and procedures;
-- The intention to create a new "investor-friendly" environment in which the Project will be advanced may be highlighted by this month's sale of a large plot of land in Crete for future tourism and leisure development to an entity controlled by international investors.
Background
Further to its announcement of 1 December, the Company is pleased to provide further details relating to the new "Law on Strategic Investments" (the "Legislation"), which has recently passed through the Greek Parliament. Amongst its features, the Legislation creates new sets of incentives and assessment procedures with which the Greek government is trying not only to attract strategic investments, but to see them realised in a measurable and timely manner.
The Legislation is aimed at consolidating the perception that Greece is a reliable, transparent and attractive international investment destination and to formulate a modern investment strategy oriented to the challenges and transformations of the international economic environment through t he creation of a single "Law on Strategic Investments". This Legislation will be a reference point for anyone wishing to investigate and choose the country as an investment destination as set out by Alternate Minister of Development Nikos Papathanassis.
The Board of Minoan regards these developments as being of the utmost importance and relevance in terms of the Company's immediate outlook. In particular, there are three areas where the changes provided for in the new Legislation are likely to have a direct, significant and beneficial effect on the progress of the Project.
These are:
a) Strategic Investments planned on land owned by Ecclesiastical Foundations are now to be allowed to use "Epiphania", a right which can most easily described as akin to an English ground lease, and which provides a mechanism to achieve terms of up to 99 years. The use of Epiphania would enhance significantly the ability of investors to finance their investments through the banking system;
What has this got to do with Minoan , the question you should be asking is who is giving them the money to develop the barren undeveloped land ? Fact !
The journey just gets better!
EY: Recovery Funding to Advance Greece Investor Activity
https://news.gtp.gr/2021/12/07/ey-recovery-funding-to-advance-greece-investor-activity/
Dozens of projects are up for EU funding approval establishing Greece as key investor destination, according to Deputy Development & Investments Minister Yannis Tsakiris.
“Greece has become a very attractive investment destination for foreign investors and a unique window of investment and development opportunity has been created which should be utilized to the fullest,” the minister said during an event organized in Athens by the Hellenic Development Bank (HDB) and EY Greece in collaboration with the Hellenic Venture Capital Association (HVCA).
Rising real estate prices provide banks with added bonus
https://www.businessdaily.gr/english-edition/52471_rising-real-estate-prices-provide-banks-added-bonus
After the long dip seen in real estate market that ran through the 2010s, property prices have been on a steady recovery path as of the end of 2017.
In addition, banks expect a significant increase in financing for both commercial and residential real estate, boosting their loan portfolios and revenues. It is noted that in the wider region of Attica, but also in many other parts of the country, strong construction activity is taking place. There is also a significant indirect impact on banks and the economy at large, as the rise in the real estate market leads to a significant increase in capital flows from rents, which real estate players channel into other investments.
