The complex will be built by Kabland company, which was founded by the Municipality of Pomorie (holding 20 % of shares) and NGB Consulting Company (holding 80% of shares).

More than 3,000 people will be involved in different stages of the project and some 800 people are planned to be permanently employed when the golf complex is fully completed and operational.
