Balkan Place is situated in the St Ivan district of Bansko. This area is to the south of Bansko, in the foothills of the Pirin Mountains, three minutes by dedicated minibus shuttle to the Gondola Station. St Ivan is emerging as the most prestigious district of the town. The views are terrific across 360-degrees, and the few developments taking place there are of a higher quality than those in the town below.
Balkan Place has been designed with a great deal of care. Two main themes underlie the design, that will ensure these apartments make an excellent investment.
Value and investment potential: the apartments are designed to contain the maximum number of bedrooms and beds in the smallest area. 1-bedroom apartments are on average 60 square meters (646 square feet), 2-bedroom apartments are 80 sq m (860 square feet). Costing is by the square meter, so the prices of Studios and 1-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments are lower than in any development in equivalent superb position or with so many facilities. The apartments at Balkan Place are much larger than French ski apartments.
Rental : Balkan Place is composed of 66 high-specification apartments, with rich facilities, and will function like a hotel. So it has hotel reception, lobby bar, room-service, spa centre with swimming-pool, shops, laundry service, and staff to run the facilities. This meets with the requirements of the two main markets for rental - the Tour Operators and independent holidaymakers from Sofia, Greece and other neighbouring countries. (For this reason we have excluded fireplaces in the apartments, as Tour Operators are against fireplaces. There is a welcoming fireplace in the lobby-bar.)
