ROIX, a crowdfunding platform, has successfully completed all financing stages of the prestigious Žvėrynas real estate development project. Through the platform, investors contributed nearly €4.5 million, while syndicated financing brought the total project funding amount to €7.5 million.

This marks one of the largest real estate financing transactions in ROIX’s history, combining capital from retail investors and a professional investor. The project was financed in several stages, with an additional €3 million raised through a syndicated financing structure. Under the crowdfunding license issued by the Bank of Lithuania, a maximum of €5 million can be raised for a single project through the platform. The syndication model therefore enabled the project to secure its full capital requirement.

“The Žvėrynas project perfectly reflects the direction ROIX is taking. We provide investors with access not only to traditional real estate projects but also to exceptional transactions that, due to their size or structure, are typically available only to institutional investors. In this case, retail investors joined forces with a professional investor to finance one of the most unique real estate development projects in Vilnius,” says ROIX founder Benas Poderis.

A Once-in-a-Decade Opportunity

The financed project is being developed in one of Vilnius’ most prestigious locations – Žvėrynas, on the first line along the Neris River on Vytauto Street. The development stands out due to limited market competition, its historical context, and a unique site that includes the reconstruction of heritage buildings alongside new construction.

The project comprises the restoration of three cultural heritage buildings and the construction of five new residential buildings.

“This is a project with virtually no comparable alternatives on the market. Opportunities to develop sites of this nature in Žvėrynas arise extremely rarely, and due to its location, urban planning restrictions, and limited supply, the project offers exceptional long-term potential,” Poderis notes.

Nearly €4.5 Million Raised Across Three Stages

During the first financing stage (Stage A and B), investors contributed €2,482,472. The stage attracted 105 investors who made 112 investments, with an average investment size of €22,165.

The second stage raised €1 million. It involved 100 investors making 104 investments, with an average investment amount of €9,615.

The third stage was also successfully completed, raising an additional €1 million. A total of 81 investors participated, making 86 investments, with an average investment size of €11,628.

In total, nearly €4.5 million was invested into the project through the ROIX platform.

Syndication Model Enables Larger Transactions

ROIX’s financing model allows retail investors and professional investors to participate in the same project. This structure makes it possible to finance larger-scale developments than would be achievable through crowdfunding alone.

The Žvėrynas project became one of the strongest examples of this model in action. In addition to investor funds raised through the platform, a further €3 million was secured via syndicated financing, bringing the total project funding amount to €7.5 million.

“We see investors increasingly looking beyond standard real estate projects and showing interest in unique opportunities with a clear investment rationale and strong risk-management principles. The Žvėrynas project attracted significant interest throughout all financing stages, and the syndication model enabled us to secure the full amount of capital required,” says Poderis.

ROIX plans to continue offering investment opportunities that combine crowdfunding and syndicated lending structures, providing investors with access to larger-scale transactions across technology, education, real estate, and other sectors.
