THE STEEL BARON PALACE SUITE

SKOPJE, LENIVOVA 17, I/3, 1000 SKOPJE

REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

Website:  http://thesteelbaronpalce.webs.com/ 

The Steel Baron Palace was my first, and so far most significant, historical palace restoration project. Amazing asset in one's real estate portfolio at the tender age of 25. It was a majestic building built by a first Steel merchant in the region, situated in the capital Skopje, on only two hours from Thessaloniki and the Aegean coast, a monument of great historical value, and a cultural heritage, that I had the privilege to own, restore,  and manage  since 1990. 

The property used to be the first Government of the Republic of Macedonia. After the completion of 10 years renovations I rented out the same to the USA Embassy in Skopje for many decades and it is to this day a residence of a high ranking US Diplomat.

I restored, designed and managed a Presidential Residence situated in a historical palace in the capital of the Republic of Macedonia, that accommodates the officials of the USA Embassy for over a decade, and prior to this the Crown Agents, Britain.   

 

I performed all real estate management duties, as well as management of customer service, marketing and administration. I organized and supervised all the operations of procurement, repair & maintenance.

Took refuge to USA from the injustice that stood in the way of progress, employment for the able, that made business development for the talented impossible, and allowed attacks on any art produced outside the institutions for political propaganda and nepotistic promotion.
