The news that the real estate market had been waiting for in 2009 finally arrived from the very top… of the Rondo 1 office building in Warsaw, that is – a property owned by investment fund MGPA. The news from the 36th floor of the building was that the fund had acquired Mayland Real Estate’s portfolio of two shopping centres in Poland (Karolinka in Opole and Pogoria in Dąbrowa Górnicza), with the option of purchasing a third (Jantar in Słupsk) for EUR 236 mln. This was the single largest investment transaction in CEE in 2009 and an encouraging sign of how things might go this year. ‘Eurobuild CEE’ spoke to the man of the moment and MGPA’s head for the CEE region, Daniel Harris.
