CEREIT navigates illiquid Central Europe market with Warsaw office divestment

The REIT divested the property for $23.1m.

Cromwell European REIT (CEREIT) divested an office asset Grojecka 5 (G5), Warsaw, Poland, for €15.86m ($23.1m).

In a bourse filing, the REIT said it completed the divestment “at a 7.5% premium to the latest valuation despite the relative illiquidity in the Central European real estate markets and record-low transaction activity in Europe.”

With the divestment, the REIT has reduced its portfolio's exposure to Poland to 7.4% from 8.1%.

The divested property was an office building with 10,864 sqm of net lettable area, eight floors, and 105 parking spaces. Solida Capital Europe acquired the asset.

CEREIT and Solida Capital Europe agreed on a deferred payment mechanism for the sale of G5.

Under the agreed mechanism, Solida Capital Europe can delay paying €4.36m ($6.4m) out of the €15.86m ($23.1m) purchase price until end-September, with a premium applied for the deferred period at market rates.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
