As part of “forward-purchase” transaction we have sold a project of a fantastic high rise designed by Kuryłowicz & Associates, which will be developed in the heart of the new business centre of Warsaw. The whole process required excellent coordination, commitment and continuous cooperation of many parties. We are very grateful for the trust that LRC Group has put in us by deciding to engage in this transaction.”
