7R sells eco-friendly warehouse park to DWS
7R, a leading warehouse developer, and DWS, a global real estate manager, have closed a transaction for the transfer of ownership of 7R Park Poznań East II, an eco-friendly warehouse park with a gross leasable area of over 51,000 sqm.
DWS, on behalf of one of its German institutional real estate funds, purchased the fully leased warehouse comprising two buildings with a total GLA of 51,105 sqm.
We are delighted to have partnered with DWS on such an exciting project. Just as in the case of the other 7R facilities, the choice of the building’s location was of a great strategic importance to us. It is also crucial for our tenants, not only for business‑related reasons, but also due to their need to provide future employees with convenient access to the workplace. We highly value sustainable transport offered to the location, as it is one of the important elements of our ESG strategy.
