The sale includes 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 – well-located, high-quality logistics and warehouse spanning a total of 212,500 sqm. The facilities are fully customized to meet the needs of nearly thirty current tenants from diverse industries, including logistics, food, and fashion, with popular brands such as MyBOX, ROHLIG SUUS Logistics, LIDL and Odyssey.

–The sale of our five high-quality logistics properties for over 150 million euros represents not only one of the most significant transactions in recent years but also a strategic milestone in 7R’s growth journey. Thanks to our collaboration with INVESTIKA, a leading Czech investment fund manager, we have gained the opportunity to focus on new projects and drive innovative solutions in the warehouse sector. Our storage and manufacturing properties continue to attract strong interest from tenants and investors alike who recognize their long-term value – says Chris Zeuner, co-CEO of 7R.

– This landmark transaction signals a clear market revival we’ve all been anticipating. It validates our strategy that premium quality assets will always attract capital, even in challenging markets. The strong investor interest we’ve seen underscores the enduring value of exceptional logistics developments, and we expect this momentum to accelerate through 2025 – says Magdalena Uler-Kłeczek, Head of Capital Markets of 7R.

– INVESTIKA Real Estate Fund has been successfully operating on the Polish real estate market as an investor since 2021 and I am delighted that – thanks to this acquisition – we have further strengthened our position in the largest and most robust market in Central and Eastern Europe. The portfolio of 5 logistics parks we´ve acquired from 7R comprises of high-quality industrial properties, fully leased to well-known tenants from production, logistics, retail and e-commerce sectors. This acquisition will contribute to sectoral rebalancing of INVESTIKA Real Estate Fund´s portfolio and achieving its long-term target return of 4 – 6 % p.a. for our investors – says Petr Čížek, Chairman of the Board of Directors of INVESTIKA, investment company which manages INVESTIKA Real Estate Fund, open ended mutual fund.

We believe in the future value growth of this type of real estate, particularly when it comes to such a high-quality product as the portfolio from 7R undoubtedly represents – added Paolo Panico, Director of BUD Holdings.
