Now Martin is ready to lead a large organisation and it’s time to make room for him”.

Mr Kokk added: “Urmas Sõõrumaa is determined to open up investment opportunities in his high quality real estate projects and in shaping Tallinn’s urban space. This will bring a lot of new tasks to the organisation and I will start to build up this area in addition to my usual tasks as chairman of the board.”

“Good projects and the right people are the building blocks of a successful real estate company, and US Real Estate has both,” says Martin Kolga. “It is now my job to help our capable team succeed in a changing environment, so that development projects are completed and existing buildings are maintained and sustainable.”
