43 Events maltatoday, SUNDAY, 16 OCTOBER 2016 Frank Salt Real Estate opens 14th office in Cospicua FR ANK Salt Real Estate Group is proud to announce the opening of its 14th branch on the island, offering residential sales and letting services. The new office is situated in a prime location on the promenade, directly oppo- site the bridge of dock 1, which leads to the future university. Over recent years, Cospicua, Senglea and Birgu, known as the Three Cities, became prime historical locations for prop- erty hunters, with the Fgura branch promoting properties in these areas for the past 10 years, building an extensive database along the way. This surge in de- mand has led to the need to have a new outlet right in the heart of it all, focusing on such types of properties. "Having worked in the Fgura branch for the last 12 years and attending to many clients' re- quests in the Three Cities, it was only natural for us to open an of- fice in this location," comment- ed Stanley Bonello, manager of Fgura and Cospicua branch. "Since the first day I stepped foot into the region, I believed that the towns of Cospicua, Senglea and Birgu still packed a punch and they truly have the potential to become once again, top residential destinations in Malta." "Time and the right amount of investment proved to be the right combination for the Three Cities to come back to life. To- day we are experiencing the Three Cities like we have never seen them before, offering a unique lifestyle lived in a histor- ical setting, yet with a refreshed business oriented environment," Bonello added. The Cospicua branch will be focusing on all types of prop- erties which can be found in the Three Cities such as period houses, pre and post-war dwell- ings, with special attention to properties with views and ter- races, overlooking one of Mal- ta's best known marinas and home to some of the most luxu- rious yachts. This office will aim to assist all different types of requests and will be reaching out to locations such as Valletta and Floriana, since these are lit- erally 15 mins away by ferry. The Cospicua branch is made up of a team of five dedicated consultants who are particu- larly passionate about proper- ties which have historical value. Eventually, the staff comple- ment will increase to also in- clude letting consultants. All Frank Salt Real Estate of- fices are strategically located and spread across the islands, making sure that nowhere is too far from a Frank Salt Real Estate branch. Equipped by a team of professional sales consultants and an extensive database of properties, the branch ensures to deliver an ongoing commit- ment of supreme quality ser- vice to each and every client. The aim of the new branch is to keep on building on this good and solid reputation which the company enjoys, and be the first natural choice for vendors and buyers alike when it comes to all real estate services in the Three Cities. The company is also plan- ning to open another three new branches later on this year. The new Cospicua branch can be reached on telephone 2235 9000 or by email at cospicua@ franksalt.com.mt.

Attended by Grant Thornton Partner Wayne Pisani and Busi- ness Development Senior Execu- tive Rishi Bonello, the event saw the world's leading luxury yacht- ing companies, brokerages and industry players concentrated into one remarkable venue with more than 30,000 visitors. "Very few people know that The Malta Ship Registry is the largest merchant f lag in the European Union and the sixth worldwide. It is noteworthy that as at the end of 2015, the registered gross ton- nage under the Merchant Ship- ping Act was 66.2 million, an in- crease of almost 8.3 million gross tonnage representing a growth rate of 14.3 per cent over the pre- vious year. 2016 is expected to be another exceptional year," Pisani said. The success of this industry is partially thanks to the several benefits that yacht-owners get to enjoy when registering their vessels under the Malta f lag in- cluding low Malta company for- mation and registration costs, reduced VAT rates, a number of tax exemptions, no restrictions on the nationality of sharehold- ers and directors of Maltese shipping companies and the sale and mortgaging of Maltese yachts and no trading restric- tions. These advantages are complemented by a serious and efficient maritime administra- tion and sound multilateral and bilateral relations between Malta and other states. Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra hits Maltese shores MALTA has just experienced a truly unique addition to its busy roads; the Harley-Davidson®Tri Glide Ultra. This model, as its name so precisely reveals, has three wheels and apart from this exclusive characteristic, is an authentic model of the Ultra Limited line. This model is the first in Mal- ta to have a Twin Cooled Mil- wuakee-Eight 107; the engine is made up of eight valves, all with the aim of adding control and force to the motor, while reduc- ing fuel consumpion and emis- sions. The motorbike's BOOM! Box 6.5 GT system enjoys a screen of the latest technology with an added GPS system and Cruise Control, a system which allows a constant velocity for the desired period. The model also comes with a booth of al- most seven feet squared, enough space for embarking on a few days adventure away from home. The only red Tri Glide Ultra in Malta was sold around a month ago within three weeks of being put on sale in the Fapi show- room, Mdina Street Attard. Fapi Motors are the distributors of the Harley-Davidson brand. If you would like to buy a Harley- Davidson or want to know more about what this unique bike has to offer, you can send an e-mail to info@FapiMotors.com or visit our showroom.
