International real estate advisor Savills has entered into an association with DDG Group in Croatia to support its continued expansion in Europe.
DDG Group is a renowned leader in advisory, project development and construction management in Croatia, for both residential and commercial clients.
The company currently employs 15 real estate experts, engineers and architects and has two offices in Croatia, one in Rijeka and one in Zagreb, the country’s capital.
DDG Group will be Savills commercial associate for the whole of Croatia and residential associate for Northern Croatia. Savills will continue to work with Dream Estates Croatia, its residential associate for over 20 years covering the southern part of the country’s coast.
James Sparrow, CEO, Savills UK & EMEA, comments: "We are delighted that DDG Group will be our associate in Croatia with immediate effect, alongside our established associate Dream Estates Croatia. We see particularly strong opportunities for our hotels and international residential teams to work together. With Croatia having joined the Schengen area and adopted the Euro last year we anticipate the country will see significant growth over the next few years, once markets have recovered.
"This association enables us to strengthen and broaden our growing presence in Europe as we continue to expand our teams and areas of expertise for the benefit of our global client base."
Denis Šikljan, CEO of DDG Group, says: "Joining forces with Savills represents a significant milestone for DDG Group and for the Croatian development market as a whole. This professional alliance will enable us to leverage Savills global network and resources to enhance our offer and deliver unparalleled services to our clients.
"This ensures that our development projects will have significantly broader international exposure, thereby attracting more international investors to invest in Croatia. The Savills digital platform, combined with their network of highly-connected top agents, will enhance our ability to reach the right buyers, investors, and their representatives, facilitating faster sales at higher prices. We are honoured to become an associate of the Savills family."
