Porto Franco – scandalous yet great investment
opportunity

Developer:            Porto Franco OÜ                     Value:                EUR 20o million

Porto Franco is the largest development project in Estonia ever, with a total
area of 150 000 m2. Porto Franco is a unique real estate development that
opens Tallinn’s city center to the sea, being the only business and leisure area
situated at close vicinity to the sea in the Estonian capital.

Decisions by the Estonian government in 2020 to give subventions to the
project during the COVID-19-crisis were widely criticized and led to criminal
proceedings due to alleged corruption, and subsequent resignation of the state
government. Therefore, financing decisions were revised by creditors and a
need for new capital is expected to arise. The total cost of the development of
Porto Franco is close to EUR 200 million.
