The Sevastopol Sea Gates complex is primarily focused on wealthy tourists and businessmen from Ukraine and Russia as well as other countries. There are more than 25 projects of apartment complexes in Crimea, primarily on the south coast (Yalta, Partenit, Gurzuf, Alushta). At the same time there is lack of high-class hotel/apartment complexes in Sevastopol.
Use of financing
The whole project requires about US $ 50 mln financing, including 70% from equity investors. The remaining 30% of the sum will be financed by the own-er (15%) and through the early sales (15%). Part of costs may be financed from local authority budget. To minimize risks this project will be implemented in stages: the first building will be constructed in 2011 - 2013 (US $ 14,7 mln), next two buildings in 2014 - 2015 (US $ 18 mln) and then new embankment with recreational beach zone (the amount is considered).
