EBRD property and tourism director Vlaho Kojakovic said: “Porto Franco is an exciting project aligned with our strategic focus on urban regeneration initiatives and sustainable real estate, two of the key pillars of the EBRD’s Property and Tourism strategy.
“The project will be a market-leading development achieving LEED Gold certification and playing a pivotal role in the regeneration of the wider port district, which is fast becoming the main gateway to the city.
