Poland Liberty Tower deal done

Investment & finance
AT Capital Group has finalised the acquisition of a plot at the junction of ul. Grzybowska and ul. Żelazna in central Warsaw from Golub GetHouse, which was planning to develop the Liberty Tower hotel and residential development on the site.

In late 2021, AT Capital agreed to buy the plot from Golub Gethouse. Construction work had been scheduled to start in 2020; however, the project was put on hold due to the costs incurred by an ongoing dispute over the potential sale of the nearby Mennica Legacy Tower. AT Capital has now revealed that it is considering developing a mixed-use commercial and residential complex on the site.

AT Capital Group was advised for the acquisition by Savills and Greenberg Traurig Nowakowska – Zimoch Wysokiński for the legal aspects.

This part of Wola continues to see new multifunctional projects, including the adjacent Browary Warszawskie and Norblin Factory complexes. This transaction illustrates the growing importance of mixed-use developments on the Polish investment market.

AT Capital Group is a Singapore-based family-owned company worth USD 2.5 bln with a real estate portfolio of app. USD 1 bln. In Europe, the company is headquartered in Amsterdam, from where it is developing a number of projects, including the Bajeskwartier - a new downtown district of the city with about 135.000 sqm of residential, commercial, hospitality, student housing, care and community services.
