Manova Partners is expanding its investment activities in CEE with a focus on Poland. The international real estate investment manager currently manages a property portfolio in the region worth more than €1.4 billion.


Of this total, more than €800 million is invested in Poland, around €400 million in the Czech Republic and the remainder is split between Hungary and Romania. The company's strategy focuses on office and logistics properties in metropolitan areas and economic centers.

Manova Partners has been active in CEE for more than two decades, making its first investments in Poland in 2004. Today, the portfolio in Poland comprises more than 600,000 sqm of office and logistics space across 19 properties. In the Czech Republic, the company holds around 125,000 sqm of office space across three properties in Prague.

"When we look at yield potential, market size and economic outlook together, Poland currently offers the most compelling opportunities in the CEE region," says Katarina Horvathova, Head of Transactions CEE and Country Head Czech Republic at Manova Partners. "A key success factor of our strategy is our operational asset management approach. Our on-the-ground presence and close contact with tenants and local markets enable us to identify developments early and respond quickly," says Lukasz Pawikowski, Associate Director and Head of Asset Management CEE & Nordics at Manova Partners.

Poland benefits from economic growth, with GDP forecast to expand by around 3.5% in 2026 versus an EU average of roughly 1.4%. Transaction volumes reached €4.5 billion in 2025. Manova Partners currently achieves an occupancy rate of around 96 percent across the CEE region.
