Delta Holding announced the purchase of a location for the construction of the Holiday Inn hotel in Ljubljana. This hotel is a brand of IHG Group which the company has excellent long-term cooperation with and which, as our partner, gives its consent to all our locations. The beginning of construction is planned after the completion of legal administrative procedures that are in process.
“After excellent cooperation with the relevant institutions in Ljubljana during the construction of the InterContinental hotel, we have decided to continue our business in Slovenia. We believe that there is a need for another strong hotel brand in Ljubljana, which will be slightly less luxurious than InterContinental but it will have high standards of service and quality.
We are finalizing three major projects – an opening of Delta Planet shopping mall in Banja Luka on March 21st, Delta Planet shopping mall in Varna on March 28th and hotel Indigo in Belgrade at the end of the year. By doing so, we are releasing the resources for further development of our real estate portfolio in Serbia and the region. We are ready to start building three significant projects in Serbia as soon as conditions are created. These projects are Delta Planet shopping mall Autokomanda, the new headquarter of Delta Holding and Delta Center, within which InterContinental Belgrade will be located“, said Zorana Ždrale Burlić, general manager of Delta Real Estate.
