The closing took place today 11 July, following the release of the transaction by the Polish antitrust authorities. The sellers are the Ghelamco Group, which completed the tower in 2016, and Madison International Realty, a global real estate private equity firm. The agreed property value for the office tower equals roughly EUR 386.0 million. The expected annual rental income based on invoiced rents totals approximately EUR 19.6 million.
“The Warsaw Spire Tower strengthens our position as one of the leading providers of first-class office solutions in Warsaw and represents an optimal combination of high quality, superior infrastructure and a well-known tenant mix. This office tower is an excellent addition to our standing investment portfolio and will also significantly strengthen IMMOFINANZ’s earning power over the long-term“, comments Oliver Schumy, CEO of IMMOFINANZ, on the transaction. “In a next step, we plan to integrate the Warsaw Spire Tower into our successful, international myhive office concept with its top service, feel-well atmosphere and community building.“
The Warsaw Spire Tower has approximately 71,600 sqm of rentable space in total, including roughly 65,000 sqm of office space and the remainder used primarily for retail purposes. The Warsaw Spire Tower (building section A) is the highest office tower in Warsaw and has 49 floors. The office space is fully rented, among others to Goldman Sachs, Samsung, JLL and Mastercard. The average remaining term of the contracts (WAULT) equals roughly 4.6 years.
The tower is situated in the rapidly growing City Center West district. The location next to the Daszynskiego roundabout on Plac Europejski offers excellent connections for private transport as well as public transportation, for example with a station in Warsaw’s new second underground line and numerous tram and bus connections.
IMMOFINANZ’s real estate in Poland had a book value of EUR 760.3 million as of 31 March 2019, which represents 17.2% of the entire portfolio. The 26 standing investments have approximately 377,100 sqm of rentable space and an occupancy rate of 93.0%.
