“Over the last two years, Echo has strengthened its position in the residential market pursuing the goal to become the market leader in two to three years. The sales dynamics proves we are on a good track. According to our plans, 2017 was to be our record year and now it is evident that by the end of December Echo will sell 1,300 units and will hand at least 925 apartments to their future owners. Looking into the future, we have already started attractive new projects such as Osiedle Perspektywa II in Poznań, Nowa Dzielnica in Łódź, and Zebra in Wrocław,” said Waldemar Olbryk, Residential Department Director at Echo Investment.

Additional plots in Warsaw and elsewhere for over 4,000 apartments have also been secured by preliminary agreements or are subject to advanced negotiations.
