The work covers comfort- and premium-class apartments: single buildings where the plot allows only one, whole districts where it allows more. Across the three markets 320 000 m² have been built and 3 920 apartments have found their owners.\n\nAn apartment is bought once; the ground around it is used every day. The group therefore plans the courtyard before the façades — closed to through traffic, with playgrounds, lawns, trees, walking paths and, where the plot takes it, a pool. Of the current programme 52 000 m² are in the active construction stage, and the architecture is answered country by country rather than by repeating one house type three times.",[12,13,14,15],"Buyers who want an apartment inside a planned courtyard rather than a block dropped between two car parks.","Families comparing a European mid-rise building in Vilnius with a larger district in the Kyiv region.","Buyers watching the Spanish coast who want to follow a seaside project from the design stage onwards.","Partners who need to see what a developer has completed before any conversation about the next site.",[17,20,23,26,29],{"title":18,"text":19},"Comfort and premium class","The two classes differ in finish, ceiling height and how much of the plot goes to landscaping — not in whether the courtyard is planned at all.

The group sells its own buildings, so the person showing you a layout works for the company pouring the concrete. Questions about ceiling height, the courtyard plan or the finish standard are answered from the drawings in use on site.\n\nDuring construction the counterpart does not change. A buyer who reserves early follows the same project through to handover, and the papers are signed in the country where the building stands, before a notary, under that country's rules. Nothing moves to a sales agency that disappears at completion.\n\nAfter the keys the relationship continues, because the group remains on the territory. The courtyard, the ground-floor premises and the service companies have the same owner as the building. If something in an apartment or in the common areas is wrong, the address for it is the developer, not a project company that has already been wound up.",[49,52,55,58,61],{"q":50,"a":51},"Which countries does SAVO build residential projects in?","Three: Spain, Lithuania and Ukraine.
