PARTICIPATION MODEL – OVENECKA 33, PRAGUE 6
Real estate investment with a short-term investment horizon and an attractive return potential.
WHY INVEST IN REAL ESTATE IN PRAGUE? CZECH REPUBLIC AS STABLE MARKET
The Czech Republic is one of the largest, and at the same time one of the most stable markets in new Europe: Since accession to the EU the Czech Republic could exhibit over the years a stronger economic growth than many countries in Western Europe. After an interruption of this growth due to the economic crisis, the Czech Republic observed in 2010/11 again a higher growth than some of its neighbours. For the coming years growth is expected to outperform the EU average again.
At the same time the Czech Republic has a much lower debt level than other European countries: The external debt in the Czech Republic is about 50 % of GDP – in the EU average the external debt is about 80%. The inflation rate in the Czech Republic is currently around 2 % – and is thereby lower than in most other countries in “New Europe”.
PRAGUE – A FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC CENTRE IN CENTRAL EUROPE
Prague is the financial- and economic centre in the Czech Republic: About 2,3 million people in the catchment area of Prague – more than 20 % of the total population in the Czech Republic. With an unemployment rate under 3 %, the employment rate in Prague is not only higher than in the Czech Republic, it is also higher than in many other cities in Europe.
WHY INVEST IN REAL ESTATE IN PRAGUE? ATTRACTIVE MARKET CONDITIONS FOR REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Prague offers also attractive conditions for real estate investments: Prices for real estate in Prague are still lower than real estate prices in other European cities but given the stable economic and political development in the past almost 20 years it is expected that prices will catch up with the levels in other cities in Europe. Currently, the yields for residential real estate in Prague are about 4,5 % to 6,5% depending on the location and condition of the property. This offers not only attractive revenue opportunities from rental income or profits from the refurbishment of properties, but also additional appreciation potential if the prices catch up with the level in other cities in Europe.
Prague Prime Homes offers investors the opportunity, to become a co-owner of a selected apartment building in the exciting city of Prague. Investors participate not only in the profit from the re- development of the apartment building, but also on a possible value appreciation upon the sale of the property.

THE LOCATION
The project is located in Ovenecka street 33 in the district Bubenec, at the border between Prague 6 and Prague 7. The project is situated just a two minutes walk from the Letenska Garden and the Stromovka Garden and the Old Town of Prague as well as the Mala Strana district can be reached by feet within 15 minutes as well.
Prague Bubenec belongs to the preferred living areas in Prague. The district offers a variety of day-to- day shopping opportunities and a wide range of services and the centre of Prague is still within walking distance. Due to the parks it is also an attractive location for families with children. In addition the location has an excellent accessibility by public traffic and an easy and fast access to the city‘s main arteries allows for comfortable and convenient travel by car.
Even though Prague 6 is a preferred residential district property prices in that area of Prague are still lower as in Prague 1 or in Prague Vinohrady. Due to the potential that prices will catch up with prices in adjusting areas an apartment in that part of Prague may be also attractive for end-buyers for investment purposes.

The property shall be being acquired in form of a share deal, where a Meinl Bank subsidiary as trustee will on behalf of the equity investors be registered in the company register as holder of the project company. The purchase price including costs relating to the acquisition, fees to Meinl Bank for placing the equity with investors (3% on equity) and 1% debt arrangement fee amounts to around EUR 2.8 million. Based on a total usable area including the planned extension of 2,850 sqm this represents a purchase price of around EUR 950 per sqm.
The project Ovenecka 33 is a former hotel that will be transformed and re-developed into a residential building. The seller has already applied for the building permit for the current areas including a new underground parking garage and it is expected that this permit will be granted in September 2013. The application for the permit for the extension shall be filed when the permit for the current part has been granted. It is planned to create in total 19 apartments on the upper floors and commercial units on the ground floor that shall be sold to individual parties using the apartments either for living purposes or as investment. The seller had planned to sell the units in shell & core standard and he has signed already reservation contracts for 10 of the 19 flats. The project includes however also a reserve for the event that some buyers would prefer to acquire the flats completely ready to move in. The total development costs including project management fees and other costs are expected to amount to around EUR 2.9 million. As a result the total project costs including interest for partly debt financing will amount to around EUR 5.99 million.
After completion of the reconstruction the units will be sold to end-buyers, whereby based on current market conditions it is expected to achieve an average sales price of EUR 2,500/sqm in shell & core status resulting in total gross proceeds of around EUR 7.4 million. The net sales proceeds after costs relating to the sale, property transfer taxes and capital gain taxes are expected to amount to around EUR 6.67 million.
