Jacek Wesołowski, managing director, Trei Real Estate Poland: Last year was a very intense time for us, as was reflected in the increased rate of our activities in Poland. During this time, we opened five Vendo parks: in Bytów, Ostrołęka, Pułtusk, Łask and Kobyłka, with more than 18,000 sqm of leasable space, combined. We designated EUR 25 mln to new projects, thus almost doubling our investment level compared to 2018. We also expanded our Polish portfolio of land for future retail projects.
