The traditional competition between Sofia and Plovdiv in luxury new construction now faces another challenge – Stara Zagora. This became clear during the ceremony of the 13th edition of the annual Luxury Property Awards 2023, held last night at the Hyatt Regency Sofia hotel. The event was organized by the international cooperation platform Global Leaders.
The mayor of Sofia, Yordanka Fandakova, said from the stage that construction of a new metro station in the “Obelya” district begins today.
“Thank you for encouraging the people who create beauty and for the high recognition through this beautiful statuette, which you are awarding to the entire team of Sofia Municipality. I also want to thank the chief architect of Sofia – arch. Zdravko Zdravkov, who is here with me tonight. Among the guests, I also see many of our partners with whom we have been working for years for the development of the capital, and I hope this tradition of improvement for the better continues,” Fandakova stated.
