The first loan investment in real estate has been closed. Interest to invest exceeded the target amount by 50 %!

Crowdberry has successfully completed its first real estate loan opportunity. The boutique residential development, Bottova Residence, garnered exceptional interest from investors. Within less than two weeks, investor demand exceeded the target amount of €900,000 by more than 50%, highlighting the increasing appetite for high-quality real estate and debt investments. Investors secured a competitive annual interest rate of 10.3%.

Successful investment campaign in a premium residential project

Crowdberry provided investors with the opportunity to participate in financing the premium boutique residential project, Bottova Residence, in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. The project is currently in an advanced stage of construction, with a valid building permit and completion scheduled for summer 2025.

The combination of a prime location, high project quality, and advanced construction progress created a unique investment opportunity that attracted the attention of both Crowdberry’s analysts and its investors. For the first time, investors had the chance to invest in real estate development through a loan structure under clearly defined terms, supported by proven investor protection mechanisms and a fair valuation.

"The swift achievement of the target amount not only highlights the strong investment potential of the Bottova Residence project but also reflects the growing confidence of investors in loan investments within reputable companies and real estate," said Marek Baranyai, Credit Manager at Crowdberry. "Thanks to investor protection mechanisms and clearly defined terms for credit investments, our investors gained access to a transparent product with a fair valuation. Given the high demand for this kind of investment opportunity, we encourage investors to confirm their commitments promptly to secure their place in the investor group."

Investor interest exceeded the required capital by 52%, reaching nearly €1.4 million. Despite the minimum investment ticket of €5,000, the average investment amounted to €10,000. The opportunity offers an attractive annual interest rate of 10.3% with a loan maturity ranging from 6 to 18 months.

Completion of the Bottova Residence project

The original bank financing the developer’s loan was forced to withdraw from the project due to the internal lending policies of its foreign parent company. While a new banking partner assumed the loan, it provided 30% less capital due to stricter lending conditions for real estate projects. The €900,000 investment target was set to cover the repayment of existing debt and supplement the remaining financing required for project completion.

Don't miss it!

We will soon introduce another attractive real estate investment opportunity on the Crowdberry platform, providing investors with the chance to grow their capital.

Investors with an interest in the construction and real estate sector still have the opportunity to become co-owners of the Slovak company Terratico. The company holds a patent for lightweight concrete infused with recycled plastic, a technology that has drawn interest from both developers and architects.

During a recent visit to Terratico’s production facility, investors had the opportunity to gain insight into the lightweight concrete production process and witness firsthand the company’s global potential.
