365.invest makes the real estate portfolio more attractive.
365.invest has become the new owner of three shopping centres in the Czech Republic.
The 365.invest management company has recently expanded its real estate portfolio with three shopping centre projects in the Czech Republic. 365.invest has entered into an agreement to purchase three projects with CPI Property Group. Namely the shopping centres IGY České Budějovice, SC Géčko, and Shopping Centre City Park Jihlava. These will be included in the retail Real Estate Fund and Real Estate Fund Plus. This is one of the largest transactions on the Czech-Slovak market.
The acquisition of Czech retail projects in the 365.invest real estate fund portfolio aims to revive the performance of selected funds through new locations, while also building on the successful development of established shopping centres. "At 365.invest, we strive to maintain our offer's attraction by adding valuable assets. These include the newest Czech projects in our portfolio which we took over from the CPI Property Group," says Juraj Bielik, board member of 365.invest responsible for real estate investment.
This transaction - three projects worth almost a quarter of a billion euros - aims to strengthen the position of 365.invest management company's funds. It also has the potential to ensure increased returns for the company's clients, even during the current economic development marked by the coronavirus pandemic. CPI Property Group has been a property manager of the shopping centres, and will continue to be so after the properties' change of ownership.
"The projects represent a time-tested investment that we are moving towards Western Europe. When choosing and buying selected shopping centres, we ensured that we took advantage of a great opportunity to buy new properties with quality management, good facilities, and proven tenants. Thanks to which the properties gained financial strength over time, "explains Tomáš Cár, head of the 365.invest transaction team.
