Mario Ioannides, partner at Pluto Finance, said: “We are delighted to support our good friends at Signia Living with this development. At Pluto Finance, we are continually partnering with developers that contribute essential housing supply to the local market, and we firmly believe that this latest development will yield significant advantages for the community.”

“We have worked with Pluto Finance now on a number of developments due to their expertise and thorough understanding of the market, and this is something we look to continue with as the size of our development schemes continue to grow.”
