On behalf of the Hypo Leasing d.o.o. from 1st January 2013 onwards the BTC Company will manage 19 shopping centres Qlandia and Qcenter in several Slovenian cities and towns (Maribor, Ptuj, Kranj, Novo mesto, Nova Gorica, Kamnik, Krško and Škofja Loka). Both companies signed a long-term contract for the period of 3 years.
BTC will be managing the area of 300 000 m2 to ensure optimal costs and higher cost efficiency. Based on many years of experience and knowledge the BTC company will be in charge of all the organising and administrative services, including organising technical, maintenance and caretaking services, managing security, energy engineering, infrastructure, communal services, energy lease, recovery and other corresponding areas. Hypo Leasing d.o.o. expects from the new manager of the shopping and trade centres an upgrade of the aforementioned services with constant innovations and improvements that will consequently contribute to greater competitiveness of the trading areas. The managing of these areas will be based on the introduction of good practice and efficient processes established by the BTC company during constant improvements regarding their real estate in the past years.
The business cooperation of Hypo Alpe Adria (Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank and Hypo Leasing d.o.o.) and BTC d.d. is based on a long-term project financing which has provided for the construction of the Crystal Palace by the aforementioned bank. The financing of one of the biggest and most extensive private investments in Slovenia was carried out in the period of higher investment risk throughout the European area. Mutual trust and cooperation is exactly what made the business between the partners expand to even more areas they both cover. The contract was signed on 14th December, 2012.
Danijel Novak, general manager at Hypo Leasing d.o.o.: »Managing the trade centres owned by Hypo Leasing d.o.o., Qlandia and Qcenter, requires technical knowledge and professional experience of these areas. We firmly believe these to be the qualities of BTC Company and look forward to our business collaboration. With this the successful cooperation between the financial group Hypo Alpe Adria and the BTC Company has been upgraded and we wish it to be in the future as constructive and profitable for both companies as it has been in the past. With this joint path we have strengthen the ties between the two companies with different activities – a wide range of financial services on one side and the managing of trade areas on the other.«
