Portfolio of all completed properties currently held by your company
• As a pure developer, Echo Investment holds no standing assets.
• Once office or retail buildings are completed and fully leased, we sell them when they constitute an optimal investment product in order to invest the money generated in subsequent projects. Now, it is properties under construction that constitute the main part of the company’s assets.

Please say why your company should be considered for the award
Years of experience in 3 key real-estate sectors gave us the edge when implementing large, multi-functional, city-forming developments. The company looks for bold projects, consults them with top-class experts, takes into account the latest urbanism trends and thanks to local experience and knowledge it is able to optimize them to suit prevailing conditions. As a result, places arise that are in-tune with the specific needs of communities. Thus Echo Investment is focused on developing multifunctional, destination complex projects, new parts of cities attracting people to live in, work and spend their free time. This part of the business today amounts up to ca.42% of the total sqm of projects under construction and projects in the pipeline. The ongoing destination projects are Warsaw Brewery and Fuzja. They are possible only by putting together all the competences within the company and experience to create urban destinations where the inhabitants of cities can live, work and entertain.
