he developer will invest EUR 40 mln in the project - construction of 16 new apartment buildings. The first round of the project is to be complete by the end of this year.

The new apartment buildings will be located in Dreilini village between Lubanas and Bikernieku roundabouts. During the first round of the project, 58 apartments will be built, and by the end of the project in 2023, there will be 700 new apartments.

There will be at least 30 people working on the construction site at any given time, except on days when temperatures fall below 5 degrees Celsius.

So far, more than half of apartments in the first house to be completed - 58 - have already been sold.

In 2017, Bonava Latvija sold 131 apartments and private homes in Riga, which is 11% of all apartments sold in Riga last year.
