Munk to build resort and a helicopter platform on Bjelasica
05.02.2008
Canadian billionaire Peter Munk is expanding to the north of Montenegro through his company Adriatic Marinas. His first step is the purchase of land near the Jezerine ski resort, outside Kolasin, with an intention to build a mountain resort and a helicopter platform.
On Monday, lawyers representing Adriatic Marinas authorized the purchase of 25,000 square meters of land at the altitude of 1,800 meters. Although the company is yet to present its plan, it is expected that they will build a hotel and apartment complex.
“We are happy that Peter Munk, in a way, became one of us,” said representative of the Kolasin District, Mile Sukovic. He hopes that Munk’s arrival to Bjelasica will generate a new investment drive to the area.
