Riga has long been among the largest cities in Northern Europe, with more than 1 million people in its metropolitan area. Perfectly located right on the border of the European Union and CIS, it has grown to be a strategic hub for international businesses.
90% real estate tax reduction
Starting from 2023, more taxpayers will be eligible for up to 90% real estate tax reduction. The reduction will be available for real estate projects in Riga which meet the criteria set by Riga City Council.
The newest categories are as follows:
- Land for constructing a new office, industrial, or apartment building.
- Newly built detached houses are classified as almost zero energy buildings.
- Buildings constructed as part of priority investment projects (the list of these projects is prepared by the Latvian Investment and Development Agency).
Growing market demand
The market of real estate in Riga is growing and is not about to stop. The developers have had plenty of opportunities to sell new houses. Buyers have access to state-supported programs and quick access to bank financing, making real estate purchase more attractive.
The office and industrial market also show increased activity. Many forthcoming buildings, scheduled for completion in the upcoming years, already have a low vacancy rate; many tenants have already signed lease agreements in the pre-lease period. This trend will continue in the coming years and, as new buildings are more energy-efficient, many businesses plan to relocate to more unique buildings to reduce costs and improve working conditions.
Attractive Yield
Riga has a more attractive yield than the average for other European countries. Investors can expect a higher return on investment [ROI], helped by active support from the local city council. In addition, investors can apply for RE tax reductions and special incentives.
