After almost two decades AEW Europe decided to sell Atrium Tower office building located in Warsaw. The new owner of the property is VIG FUND, the real estate investment vehicle of Vienna Insurance Group (VIG). Real estate advisor Savills represented AEW Europe in the transaction.

“We have actively managed Atrium Tower for the last 17 years. Its attractive location and our efforts including refurbishment programme make it appealing to tenants which is proved by practically full occupancy. I strongly believe the new owner will be satisfied with this acquisition,” says Ewa Parys, Head of Asset Management Central Europer, AEW Europe.
 
AEW is real estate asset manager, with almost €60 billion of assets under management as at 31 March 2018.
