Avenir E, a Class A office building located in the established office hub of Nové Butovice, Prague 5 has been acquired by Investika. The seller, Redside, was represented by JLL.

Now came the time to capitalize on our efforts, dispose of the building and reinvest into assets with better return characteristics,” says Tomas Berka, Fund Manager at Redside, a fund management company.
