More de- tails about this mixed-use develop- ment, consisting of a 25,000sqm shopping mall and 400 residential offerings at SmartCity in Kalkara, were announced to over 300 estate agents during a presentation about the project's Phase 2, following the sell-out of over 100 apartments in Phase 1. Located within Smart City, these apartments enjoy a Specially Des- ignated Area (SDA) status and fully conform with the parameters of the approved 2008 Masterplan for SmartCity. It is estimated that the whole pro- ject will be completed within four and a half years from the issuance of permits. Construction work is planned to start in 2018, as soon the full development permits are received from the authorities. New, investor-friendly payment terms are now available for the current phase, with a payment structure of 10% as promise of sale agreement (POSA) deposit, 10% payment upon the issuing of full development permits, 10% pay- ment upon completion of shell form while the remaining 70% will be paid upon final deed of purchase in a finished state. Garage spaces are also available. Another significant announce- ment during the evening was the availability of bank finance through four of Malta's major banks. APS Bank, BNF, BOV and HSBC are all offering various loan packages for clients. In such cases, the payment structure consists of 20% as client front finance, with 60% on shell deed, and 20% on finishing certifi- cation by way of bank finance. Financed by Ricasoli Properties Ltd shareholders' own money, the properties have been put on pre- sale as normally happens with pro- jects of this nature. This is intend- ed to give buyers the opportunity to invest and participate at an early stage rather than when the project is built up, thus leaving plenty of room for capital appreciation as the project's status and pricing ma- tures later down the line. The estate agents being addressed by Ricasoli Properties' managing director Steve Carter The Global PR Summit is coming to Malta AFTER the remarkable success in 22 countries around the world, the Global PR Summit, one of the world's largest events on public relations and social media, is fi- nally coming to Malta, from 12- 13 April 2018 at the InterConti- nental Hotel.
