June was another month of progress for Devon, marked by important platform improvements, successful project milestones, and continued growth of our lending community. Throughout the month, we remained focused on strengthening transparency, expanding our project portfolio, and delivering on our commitments to lenders.
One of the most important developments this month was the introduction of our updated Loan agreement. The revised agreement provides greater clarity and transparency for lenders while maintaining the same lending principles.
We're pleased to share that the response from our community has been overwhelmingly positive. More than 96% of lenders who submitted their decisions chose to transition to the updated agreement, and those who still have not done so have a chance to do so under an extended deadline.
Another exciting milestone came for Duntes Park.
The Terra Dunte project officially received its building permit, allowing the development to move into the next phase. The project will feature three seven-storey residential buildings with 183 apartments, representing a planned investment exceeding €20 million.
With the permit secured, preparations for construction are underway, and the first phase is expected to begin in early 2027.
June also marked the successful completion and commissioning of the second affordable housing building in Jelgava.
The development now provides 58 modern, energy-efficient rental apartments, further strengthening MJL Group's portfolio of income-generating residential assets.
This achievement reinforces the group's long-term strategy of creating stable rental income while continuing to build sustainable value for lenders.
The completion of the Barona 92 apartment experienced a minor delay during the final renovation stage, to ensure lenders received repayment on time and in accordance with the loan terms, MJL Group provided the necessary funds, and the mezzanine loan has now been fully repaid.
As we enter July, our focus shifts towards accelerating funding for Devon's newest development opportunities.
To support this, we have launched our Expand & Earn Cashback Campaign, allowing lenders to earn up to 3% instant cashback when investing in eligible new projects. The campaign helps us direct funding where it has the greatest impact - our newest developments.
Thank you to every member of the Devon community for your continued trust and support. Together, we're building not only real estate projects but a stronger lender platform for the future.
The first month of autumn is behind us, and we continue to actively work on MJL Group’s projects and funding developments. September brought further progress across construction projects, alongside continued work on strengthening platform's legal and regulatory framework, including a positive legal assessment from KPMG Germany.
August was an important month for Devon, with progress across both the platform’s regulatory foundation and its underlying development portfolio. A key milestone was the publication of the KPMG Germany legal opinion, providing further clarity on Devon’s loan structure and its treatment under German regulatory requirements.
KPMG Germany has conducted a legal assessment of Devon’s loan structure and contractual framework under the applicable German regulatory requirements, with particular focus on whether Devon could be classified as conducting deposit-taking business. Below is a summary of KPMG’s general findings and regulatory conclusions.
