Purpose of the Loan
The financing required amounts to 1,350,000 EUR, which will be raised in stages. The loan will be used to purchase real estate located at the following addresses in Vilnius: Krokuvos St. 2-16A, 2-16B, 2-24A, and 2-36A, as well as for the development of a real estate project. All units are located in a single multi-family residential building, and their total registered area is 703.55 m². The project involves a major renovation of the premises, a change of use from other auxiliary spaces to residential use, and the creation of 11 separate apartments with a total planned area of 697.24 m². During the project, the roof structures will be renovated and reinforced, and stairwells, skylights, balconies, mezzanines, and utility systems will be installed, and all construction and finishing work necessary for the residential units will be carried out. Technical solutions have been prepared and building permits have been issued for the project’s implementation. The loan will be repaid using proceeds from the sale of the developed real estate or by refinancing it with another financial institution during a later stage of development. The amount that the project owner is contributing to the project is 560,000 EUR.
About the Project
The project consists of four non-residential premises—unfinished attic spaces—registered as separate real estate objects in the Real Estate Register. Premises No. 16A, unique No. 4400-5654-6068:9223, total area – 319.50 sq. m; Premises No. 16B, unique No. 4400-5910-5443:1731, total area – 106.78 square meters; Premises No. 24A, unique No. 4400-5908-2792:1107, total area – 70.22 sq. m; Premises No. 36A, unique No. 4400-5908-2816:1109, total area – 207.05 sq. m. The total registered area of the four attic spaces is 703.55 square meters. The premises are classified as auxiliary, with the primary use designated as “other auxiliary.” All premises are located in the attic on the third floor of the building; the registered completion rate is 100 percent. In this case, the completion percentage refers to the formation and registration of the premises as real estate, but does not imply that they are fit for residential use.
The building in which the mortgaged property is located is a brick multi-family residential building, unique No. 1095-9016-4015. The building was renovated in 2001–2002, and routine maintenance work is listed in the registry for the period 2006–2025. It is a multifunctional, 100% complete, three-story building with a basement and an attic. Its walls are brick masonry; the roof covering listed in the registry is ceramic. The building is equipped with central heating, municipal water supply, and domestic sewage disposal, as well as natural gas. The building’s registered total area is 4,660.19 square meters, the usable area is 2,787.97 square meters, the living area is 1,720.56 square meters, basement area—539.82 square meters, the total above-ground area is 4,120.37 square meters, the volume is 21,736 cubic meters, and the built-up area is 1,344 square meters. The building comprises 48 separate real estate units, 41 of which are residential.
Structurally, the building has a compact L-shaped layout, with strip brick foundations, silicate brick walls, and a network of load-bearing walls. The exterior load-bearing walls are approximately three bricks thick. The facades facing Kraków and Rinktinės Streets are plastered, while the section of the facade facing the courtyard retains its silicate brick masonry. A specialized inspection identified moisture-damaged areas of the facade near the eaves, places where the plaster has fallen off, damp masonry on the courtyard facade, and signs of deterioration in the existing reinforced concrete slabs of the balconies.
The attic floor is constructed of 200 mm thick precast reinforced concrete slabs; with 500 mm wide slabs above the stairwells and 1,000 mm wide slabs above the living quarters. The conclusions of a specialized inspection found the floor slab to be in good condition. The existing roof is a truss structure, with intermediate wooden trusses, rafters, posts, purlins, ties, and other wooden elements. Some of the rafters have a cross-section of approximately 175 × 50 mm and are spaced at intervals of about 1.25 m; a layer of approximately 130 mm of wood shavings and clay fill was found in the roof deck.
A capital renovation project has been prepared for the conversion of the unfinished attic spaces No. 16A, 16B, 24A, and 36A from auxiliary to residential use, creating 11 apartments, has been prepared for the project’s development. The building is registered in the Real Estate Register with the cadastral reference of the building permit issued on March 4, 2026; The document is intended for major renovation and is valid as of March 5, 2026. The Registry also lists a previous major renovation permit and a notice of the start of construction. This significantly reduces the legal risk associated with the project.
The project calls for the construction of eleven residential units ranging in size from 46.54 to 79.67 square meters: MB1 – 58.73 square meters, MB2 – 56.94 square meters, MB3 – 72.08 square meters, MB4 – 74.01 square meters, MB5 – 55.48 square meters, MB6 – 53.19 square meters, MB7 – 53.05 square meters, MB8 – 57.52 square meters, MB9 – 51.43 square meters, MB10 – 46.54 square meters, and MB11 – 79.67 square meters. The units are designed to include living rooms or combined kitchen and living areas, separate bedrooms, bathrooms with toilets, entryways, closets, balconies, and mezzanines.
Following the major renovation, the total area of the attic spaces is projected to be 697.24 square meters, the living area is 444.98 square meters, the usable area excluding stairwells is 658.64 square meters, the auxiliary area including stairwells is 252.26 square meters, and the area of balconies not included in the usable area is 22.53 square meters. The areas of the four stairwells are 9.01, 9.90, 9.98, and 9.71 square meters. Some of the apartments feature mezzanines ranging from 2.67 to 12.35 square meters, allowing for more efficient use of the upper attic areas.
The project calls for the installation of new inter-apartment and interior partitions, as well as box and flat skylights, balconies, the extension of stairwells, the reconstruction of the water supply network, and the installation of new engineering systems. The proposed roofing material is “Classic” RAL 8004 rolled sheet metal, with the same color used for the flashings on the box skylights, snow guards, and rainwater drainage elements. The new roof structures are designed using Class C24 lumber; some rafters have a cross-section of 250 × 50 mm. All wooden structures must be treated with antiseptics and fire retardants, and fasteners must be galvanized, stainless, or corrosion-resistant.
The design solutions provide for an insulated roof, insulated interior and exterior stud walls, and sound-insulated floors. The roof structure includes two layers of gypsum board, layers of mineral wool, vapor barrier, a diffusion membrane, rafters, and new roofing. The floor structure includes impact-sound-insulating mineral wool, “Teriva”-type joists and blocks, a reinforced layer of C25/30-grade concrete, floor finishing, and insulation layers. The interior walls will feature double stud frames, mineral wool insulation, and two layers of gypsum board sheathing. The structures of the dormer windows and balconies are designed with a wooden frame, and the balcony assemblies include slopes, PVC waterproofing, PIR and EPS thermal insulation layers, and controlled rainwater drainage.
From the perspective of optimal use, maintaining the existing auxiliary, unfinished attic spaces would be economically inefficient, as the 703.55 sq. m. area in central Vilnius would be used only for storage or auxiliary purposes, whereas the location, the building’s residential function and the prepared design solutions allow for the creation of significantly greater economic benefits. The conversion into commercial or administrative spaces would theoretically be possible; however, the geometry of the sloped roof, the division of the space into four separate units, the planned sanitary facilities, balconies, and mezzanines, as well as the predominantly residential character of the surrounding area, make it more suitable for residential use.
The criteria for a use that is legally permissible, physically feasible, financially sound, and generates the greatest long-term productivity are best met by the major renovation of the attic spaces, a change of use to residential, and the creation of eleven separate apartments in accordance with the prepared design. This choice is supported by the issued major renovation documents, the good condition of the main reinforced concrete floor slab, the possibility of connecting to the building’s and city’s existing utility networks, the designed stairwells, skylights, balconies, and the practical apartment sizes ranging from 46.54 to 79.67 square meters. The creation of eleven medium-sized apartments also allows for the diversification of sales risk, as the property can be sold or leased as individual units rather than solely as a single high-value property. The attractiveness of the mortgaged property in its current condition is high in terms of location, development potential, and the project design.
Potential end buyers of the completed apartments would be professionals and executives working in the city center, couples, small families, employees of foreign companies, individuals seeking housing near the Old Town and the business center, as well as private investors purchasing one or more apartments for long-term rental. Apartments ranging from 46 to 60 square meters would be suitable for single- or two-person households and the rental market, while 70–80 sq. m apartments are suitable for couples or small families who prefer two or three living areas.
The project has significant development potential but requires substantial capital and professional expertise. The best use of the property, as outlined in the documentation, is a major renovation, a change of use to residential, and the creation of eleven separate apartments. Once the project is implemented—after repairing defects in the roof and wooden structures, installing all engineering systems, completing the interior finishes, and registering the individual residential units— the property’s appeal and marketability should increase significantly. The property’s primary economic value is determined not by the current function of the unfinished attic, but by its central location in Vilnius, the legally approved possibility of residential conversion, and the potential to create a diversified project comprising eleven apartments.
