The company plans to invest EUR 68 million in residential real estate in 2026, with the majority allocated to Darnu Group’s multi-stage Sakai project (EUR 51 million) and the future Launagiai project (EUR 17 million).
A further EUR 8 million is planned for non-residential real estate projects. These investments will be based on contracted projects that are already under development or planned, one of the largest being the Rimi Lietuva logistics centre currently under construction near Elektrėnai.
„This year’s investments are driven by a positive housing market, which has all the necessary components for further growth. In 2025, sales at our Sakai development have maintained a leading position in the capital’s primary market, while strong interest in the recently launched second phase indicates high buyer optimism.
Therefore, in 2026 we will focus on increasing supply within this project, as well as laying a solid foundation for Launagiai – the largest real estate project in the history of independent Lithuania – which is currently in the active design phase and planned for the southern part of Vilnius,“ comments Sigita Survilaitė, CEO of Darnu Group.
This year, she says, around EUR 7 million will be spent on future projects and land acquisitions, while EUR 1 million will be invested in modernising infrastructure for hotels, restaurants, and sports activities.
EUR 81 million invested last year
Last year, Darnu Group’s investment volume amounted to EUR 81 million. They were EUR 13 million lower than planned due to prolonged project approvals and preparatory work processes.
The largest allocation was to the non-residential segment (EUR 44 million), with almost all of it – EUR 43 million – going to the innovative Rimi Lietuva logistics centre under development near Elektrėnai.
In 2025, Darnu Group invested EUR 32 million in the Sakai project. During the year, the company sold 190 apartments in the first stage of the River Homes project, which will be completed in the second half of this year.
The company has allocated EUR 3 million for acquisitions and future projects. Preparatory work for Launagiai, the largest project in the region, has also started. Spatial planning documents have been initiated, the design of transport and engineering infrastructure for the new district and surrounding areas has begun, and contracts have been signed for the design of the first residential, educational, and commercial buildings. EUR 1 million was allocated for these activities last year.
The same amount was allocated to the sports, catering, and accommodation businesses, with the largest share directed toward the refurbishment of the group’s Urbihop Hotel, which increased the hotel’s capacity by a quarter, to 117 rooms.
