We were delighted to welcome two experts in the Belarusian real estate market to our Club Evening in June. The evening opened with a presentation by Andrei Pavlyshko, Partner and Managing Director of Colliers International, one of the first international companies in the commercial real estate segment in the country. Mr. Pavlyshko introduced us to the history of the development of the commercial real estate market in Belarus for the last 10 years and Colliers International's successes and achievements during that period and presented the current situation of the real estate market in Belarus. Then Mr Artem Zhdankov, Project Manager of Your Capital Company, the largest real estate agency in Minsk region, shared the information about the current situation, price policy, demand structure and vacancy level of the commercial and residential real estate market.
Both reports, perfectly complementing each other, gave a complete picture of the current situation in the real estate segment in Belarus. The reporters informed about prices, tendencies and forecasts of development of the real estate market in Belarus, pointed out difficulties and opportunities in various segments of the market. In a relaxed dialogue all the participants were able to discuss specific requests and ideas with our referents and thanks to this during the evening we have already reached agreements on possible future cooperation.
