IMMOFINANZ Group acquires 100% of top office property in Warsaw
The IMMOFINANZ Group is taking its next growth and optimisation step in
Warsaw, currently the most attractive market for office properties in
Eastern Europe. The company is acquiring the remaining 49% of the Warsaw
Class A office property Equator and the adjoining office development
project Nimbus from the former project partner, the developer Karimpol S.A.
In exchange, this company will purchase 51% of the adjacent Cirrus
development project from the IMMOFINANZ Group and become the sole
shareholder of this object. The parties have agreed not to release any
information on the purchase or sale price for this transaction.
'This transaction represents a further important milestone in the
implementation of our strategy to take over the full responsibility for
projects and thereby optimise our investment structure', explained Manfred
Wiltschnigg, member of the Executive Board of the IMMOFINANZ Group, on the
reasons for this acquisition. 'With the Equator and Nimbus, we are also
receiving an extremely attractive object and project in the
well-established Warsaw office quarter of Ochota.'
The Equator, Nimbus and Cirrus development projects were part of a joint
venture that was founded in 2006. The Equator Office Building was completed
in 2008; it has over 19,100 sqm of rentable space and is fully occupied at
the present time. The Nimbus development project is currently in an
advanced planning stage. Plans call for the construction of a high-quality
office building with approx. 20,000 sqm at this site. Construction is
scheduled to start at the beginning of 2012.
