CPI Property Group announced the appointment of Radek Zeman as Division Director and Barbara Topolska as Country Manager for Poland, in addition to the refinancing of the IGY shopping centre located in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic. The newly secured loan of €60 million was provided by Komercni banka for a term of five years.


“When we completed the redevelopment of IGY centre earlier this year, we saw an immediate positive effect on footfall and turnover,” said Martin Nemecek, CEO. “While our corporate strategy is firmly focused on unsecured financing and increasing the level of unencumbered assets, the loan pricing offered for IGY was extremely attractive and allows us to proactively manage our total interest costs.”
 
Radek Zeman joins CPIPG as Division Director with effect from October 2018. In this role, Radek will manage industrial activities and others strategic matters. Radek joins CPIPG after 10 years at CTP and 12 years at KPMG.
 
Prior to joining CPI Property Group, Barbara worked as Multi Corporation's Managing Director for Central and Eastern Europe, bearing responsibility for no less than seven different markets. Before joining Multi Corporation, Barbara spent more than 13 years developing and managing a 580,000 sqm real estate portfolio worth €2 billion for Neinver.
