Dear readers! We present to your attention the first issue of the LOGISTICS journal in 2025. First of all, we would like to draw readers' attention to our new partner R1 Development, a development company that creates a new generation environment and specializes in the construction of industrial, logistics, commercial and residential real estate. One of the projects of R1 Development is the Druzhba industrial park network.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the final issue of the LOGISTICS journal in 2024. We have tried to make it rich and interesting. Today, many Russian companies operate under strict sanctions restrictions, which force them to reorient logistics flows. One of the possible solutions to this problem may be the Russia – Mongolia – China economic corridor. Details can be found in the article by Alexandra Kazunina.
EMEA, Warsaw, Bratislava, Budapest, 15 December, 2015 – TPG Real Estate, the real estate arm of global private investment firm TPG, has closed its acquisition of TriGranit, one of the major fully integrated, real estate platforms in Central Europe. As part of the transaction, TPG acquired the platform along with a portfolio of office and retail assets located in Poland (Bonarka Shopping Centre, B4B), Hungary (Millennium City Centre Offices) and Slovakia (Lakeside Park office building, Metropolis – 47.5 ha of land near Bratislava) with additional development sites in the same countries and Croatia.
JLL advised TPG in the transaction.
Benjamin Perez-Ellischewitz, Head of Capital Markets, JLL Hungary commented: “This transaction is a landmark platform deal for the CEE region and our role illustrates the capacity of the JLL CEE Capital Market advisory team to advise on multi-country and multi-asset classes deals. Investor appetite for portfolios and platform deals is strong and we expect more of the like in the coming months.”
Agnieszka Kołat, National Director, Retail Investment CEE commented: “Bonarka City Center is yet another truly prime shopping centre transacted this year. With around € 1.725 billion of retail deals already closed, 2015 will end as the second best year ever for retail in Poland, behind 2006.”
Rafał Kosoń, Associate Director, Office Investment Poland added: “For the first time the yearly volume of office transactions in Polish regional cities exceeded the volume registered in Warsaw (ca. 60 / 40 % of volume recorded in regional cities versus Warsaw, respectively). This proves the increased liquidity and strong investor interest in assets located outside the capital city.”
Miroslav Barnáš, Managing Director and Head of Capital Markets at JLL Slovakia, says: “We were delighted to play instrumental role in this cross border transaction. It again underlines increasing investment activity across all sectors including M&A and underpins continuous positive interest in the Slovak real estate market.”
According to JLL the total CEE transaction volume is expected at a level of EUR 8 bn for 2015, the highest level since the economic downturn and third highest in the past 12 years.
