Bottova Residence generated a return of 10.37% p.a. for investors prior to maturity
05/05/2026
In April 2025, we offered investors on the Crowdberry platform the opportunity to finance the Bottova Residence development project in the center of Banská Bystrica through a loan. In less than two weeks, investor interest exceeded the target amount of €900,000 by more than 50%. Today, after 378 days, the loan has been repaid early, and investors have earned a return of 10.37% p.a. thanks to a rigorously managed investment process throughout the entire period.
Bottova Residence was created as a result of the developer’s strategic decision to change the building’s original use. By converting office space into modern urban housing near the center of Banská Bystrica, the developer responded to current market demand while also increasing the property’s value.
For investors, this meant financing a development that was about more than just a high-quality conversion. Above all, it was about the developer’s ability to successfully sell and complete the project in a short time. The project was thus successfully concluded for all parties involved—the developer, investors, and buyers.
From Crowdberry’s perspective, this was an investment whose success was determined by a combination of three factors: the quality of the asset, the developer’s discipline, and rigorous risk management throughout the project’s entire lifecycle.
Early repayment of the investment
Thanks to funding from Crowdberry investors, the building’s conversion was successfully completed and construction costs were covered. The project received its occupancy permit in September 2025, and the first apartments were handed over to their owners as early as November.
From the initial sales, the bank was repaid first, followed by the mezzanine financing.
The entire process was completed at the end of February and beginning of March 2026, and the loan was fully repaid as of April 15, 2026.
