Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG (pbb) have extended the existing investment facility for Diuna Office Park located in Warsaw, Poland, on behalf of PineBridge Benson Elliot.


Diuna is a PineBridge Benson Elliot investment with Syrena Real Estate acting as asset and property manager. Formerly known as Marynarska Business Park, the Diuna site has undergone a wide transformation supported by pbb.

A concrete parking area has been redeveloped into a publicly accessible landscaped park, which is integrated into an urban cycling network; delivered alongside co-funding for the development of a public road to improve local transport links. The property is located in a well-established office location in Warsaw, with direct access to main roads. The office park comprises a total of 45,000 sqm GLA and has a well-diversified and strong tenant mix.

Dieter Knittel, Head of CEE at pbb Deutsche Pfandbriefbank, said: "We have a long-standing and successful relationship with PineBridge Benson Elliot as one of our key clients. We are very proud to support them once more in the CEE market with this green office financing. Poland is an important market for pbb, and we are looking forward to other transactions with PineBridge Benson Elliot across Europe.”

James Jakeman, Senior Partner, PineBridge Benson Elliot, said: “We consider pbb a key lender relationship on our European portfolio and look forward to continuing our cooperation on both existing and new investments.”
