Accolade and Aareal Bank of Germany have agreed on the refinancing of six parks in Szczecin, Bydgoszcz, Lublin, Legnica, Białystok, and Zielona Góra in Poland.  This refinancing, in an aggregate value of €153 million, is one of the largest financial transactions in the industrial real estate segment in Central Europe.

Accolade is entering Gorzów Wielkopolski with a project worth nearly €47 million. The first stage of construction of the new BREEM certified industrial park will be completed next month. Lease agreements have already been signed by Logoplaste and Omnipack.

Accolade will invest almost €30 million in two warehouse buildings in Częstochowa with a combined area of ​​30,400 sqm. The two buildings at Panattoni Park Częstochowa are currently under construction with completion scheduled for February 2020.

Czech investment group Accolade aims for the Slovak market. Investment in two logistic halls near Košice airport will open Accolade´s fourth market. Thanks to the strategic location, tenants will have good access not only to the east of Slovakia but also to Hungary, Poland, and Ukraine. The halls will cover the area of 36 000 sqm from the total disposable area of 75 000 sqm. The total value of the buildings is CZK 750 million.

At the end of September or in early October, the Accolade Fund will exceed the symbolic mark 500,000 sqm of fully occupied rental space for light industry, e-commerce and logistics. This will move the Fund closer to another magical mark: CZK 10 billion worth of properties under its management. If all pending transactions are taken into account, the Fund’s rental property portfolio will increase to 515,000 sqm, worth in total €351.5 million, which is more than CZK 9 billion.

Accolade Group will invest €8.6 million in the construction of a new industrial park near Zdice, right at exit 28 from the D5 motorway from Prague to Plzeň. The project will offer 12,100 sqm of leasable space and might start operating by 2020 or earlier.
