Warning: end() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/conceptb/public_html/bulgarianpropertynews/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 308

Part of the Bulgarian property investment known as the Super Borovets project will be the construction of a new motorway to link Sofia with the Borovets ski resort in less than 40 minutes. The new Rila Highway will create a link between Sofia and Samokov and drastically reduce the travel time between the capital city and Bulgaria’s most popular ski resort. The news about the new motorway was announce by Simeon Peshov from Glabolgarstroy and Georgi Krumov one of the directors in the Equest Property Investment Fund which is leading the investment in the Super Borovets project. The motorway will be over 80km long and will link the Trakia, Hemus and Struma motorways going through the towns of Samokov and Vakarel.

The first level of the investment project will be based outside Samokov and includes a gondola lift to take skiers to the Markudjik ski pistes. The idea is that skiers from Sofia can use the new motorway to quickly arrive in Samokov, park their cars at the base of the gondola and be on the top of the ski resort in just 30 minutes.  Overall the project expects an investment of over 500 million euros to produce one of the most modern ski resorts in Europe.

Big plans for Borovets ski resort


Warning: end() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/conceptb/public_html/bulgarianpropertynews/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 308

Several investment projects have been announced for the Samokov/Borovets ski region. The project known as Super Borovets, Mr. Hristo Kovachi and also the TIM group are all planning projects in the area. When compared to Bansko which has had some serious development over the last 2-3 years, Samokov and Borovets are calm, relaxed and seriously underdeveloped. In Bansko you is bombarded by daily announcements of new projects, new spas, new golf courses and complexs that begin to stretch the imagination. The Bansko area is littered with building materials and half constructed complexes. In Borovets it is pretty much mountains and forest with the odd hotel or development dotted around the place.

While still underdeveloped, this is positive for the Borovets area as it remains natural and unspoilt compared to the disastrous overdevelopment that has occurred in Bansko.

Still several new projects are planned for the Boroevts area. Super Borovets kicked off this month. The major shareholders in Super Borovets are the Equest Investment Fund and the Samokov municipality. The local council expect that the  project will transform the area into one of the top alpine resorts in Europe.

Hristo Kovachki is also planning several developments in the area and is expected to link with the TIM group of companies to develop a rival ski resort to the Super Borovets developers.

A major investment is expected in the area by Mr Kovacki as over the next 3 years. He plans to construct a luxury hotel, news ski pistes and a sport and leisure centre in the area.
