The assets acquired from 7R include: 7R City Flex Kraków Airport I, 7R City Park Gdańsk Airport I, 7R Park Poznań West I, 7R Park Bydgoszcz I, and 7R Park Kielce. - The transaction confirms that warehousing properties remain at the forefront of investors' interest and that capital from the CEE region, especially from the Czech Republic, is highly active in Poland, in a way acting as a substitute for domestic capital - says Marek Paczuski, senior director in the Investment Servises department at Colliers. Poland has a significant stock of modern warehouse space, which exceeded 33.5 million sqm at the end of Q3 2024. We expect that several more transactions from this sector should be completed by the end of the year and in Q1 2025, and investor interest in this segment will also continue in the coming year. We extend our gratitude to INVESTIKA and BUD HOLDINGS for their trust, and to all parties involved in the transaction for ensuring a successful process. #ColliersPoland #RealEstate #Warehouses #Investment

The industrial boom might be over, but the warehouse lights — and the need for e-commerce and logistics space — aren’t going dark anytime soon, reported Commercial Observer. "The U.S. market is still operating at historic levels, and Prologis — the nation’s biggest real estate investment trust, handling nearly 3 percent of the world’s gross domestic product — is growing with it. Last year, which was less than stellar for most in commercial real estate, Prologis made $733 million in acquisitions and $1.61 billion in asset sales, and started $3.4 billion in new development." "The San Francisco-based firm expects its expansive portfolio to remain between 96.5 to 97.5 percent occupied. The plan is to make between $500 million to $1 billion in acquisitions this year, along with another $800 million to $1.2 billion in sales, and up to another $3.5 billion in estimated development starts again this year." "Megan Creecy-Herman joined Prologis in 2018, and became the company’s president for the Western U.S. in 2023. That means, among other things, managing Prologis’ more than 250 million square feet of space in the West. She built her career focused on acquisitions, dispositions, development and leasing, and previously spent six years at Liberty Property Trust, which Prologis eventually acquired for $13 billion four years ago." https://lnkd.in/gEn-inbc #unitedstates #industrial
