Erste Ingatlan Alap acquired Market Central Ferihegy
Erste Ingatlan Alap acquired Market Central
Ferihegy, a retail park offering 44,000 sq. m. of leasable space in Budapest,
as well as the adjacent Quadrum office complex at the end of last year.
The transaction was facilitated for
the company’s real estate funds to meet its targeted property investment ratio.
Market Central Ferihegy is 98 percent leased to a diverse mix of tenants. The
U-shaped property accommodates a 15,435 sq. m. Tesco hypermarket and a
Praktiker hardware store as well as 1,550 ground-level parking spaces. The sale
of Market Central Ferihegy was brokered by CBRE on behalf of the seller, whose
name was not disclosed. The deal represented a unique transaction, because the
property, managed by Whitestar Real Estate, has never been sold since it was
delivered. The cost of the deal was not disclosed. “The acquisition of the
retail shopping center Market Central Ferihegy is considered a strategic
milestone and is in line with our objective of adding decisive retail shopping
centers to Erste Ingatlan Alap’s real estate portfolio. The acquisition of
Market Central ensures a steady income that is sustainable in the long-run,
serving the interests of our customers splendidly,” said Balázs Pázmány,
chairman of the managing board at Erste Asset Management. 2018-01-15 11:05
