“Facilities in PNK Park Sered’ stand out as investment product by perfectly fitting into investment portfolios of many investors active in the CEE region. The combination of long leases, strong covenants and a major focus on LPP’s regional distribution warehouse for online sales secured strong competition among institutional bidders,” says Rudolf Nemec, Head of Capital Markets at JLL Slovakia, which facilitated the transaction.

“We continue to develop our PNK Park Sered’. The third facility with a total area of 43,165 sqm will be ready in summer. We observe quite a big interest in our industrial park from new tenants. And in our plans to construct three more facilities with a total area of 183,546 sqm which are suitable to be used as warehouses, distribution centres, and for light industrial purposes as well” said Azamat Yerzhanov, Partner of PNK group Europe.

For the past year, investors have been trying to avoid acquiring schemes solely dependent on the automotive sector and rather preferred assets with tenants operating in logistics and online retail business. PNK Park Sered stands out with its balanced tenant base, outstanding technical quality and is set to be expanded further in the upcoming years by additional leasable area of 227 thousand sqm.  Modern industrial and logistic complex is located in the well-established logistics & industrial hub on R1 highway in Western Slovakia next to the Amazon return centre and Lidl distribution warehouse.

“The acquisition of PNK Park in Sereď improves regional and sectoral diversification of our property portfolio hence reduces its portfolio risk. At the same time, this investment increases the income generation potential of our fund over the long term especially thanks to a very long term commitment of quality tenancies to this premier logistics property’ says Tomáš Jandík, Chairman of the Board of Directors of REICO IS ČS.
