MLP Group has released its strategic goals to be met within the next three years to 2024. In line with the strategic plan, the period will see the company’s equity, or net asset value (NAV), double from €387 million in 2021 to €823 million at year end 2024. Significant growth in NAV is expected in 2022, driven mainly by the development of new projects in Germany and Austria, already fully secured.

CTP reported a 92% rise in profit for the first nine months of 2021 to €317.8 million, compared with €165.8 million for the same period of 2020. The company’s strong performance was driven by solid ongoing leasing take up, rental growth and record development valuations from accelerating yield compression in CTP’s core CEE portfolio. The robust financial results are manifested in adjusted EPRA earnings per share year-to-date increasing to €0.38 in 2021 as compared with €0.29 for the same period in 2020. The company has also invested significantly this year in boosting its talent base, attracting new people into senior management roles in country teams and across group functions.

Although real estate development, investment and lending to the sector have taken a beating due to the pandemic's effects on the global economy, according to the results of the latest edition of KPMG’s Property Lending Barometer, property lending has gained an increased importance for banks in 2021, as on the one hand real estate loan portfolios are deteriorating, and, on the other, market conditions continue to gradually improve. Moreover, the tougher times mean that lending institutions within the region are able to pick and choose what types of developments and investments to grant loans to under stricter terms and conditions.

According to Savills, investment in the European real estate market is forecast to exceed last year’s level by at least 15% and reach around €270 billion in 2021, with the living sectors and logistics markets likely to account for a significantly higher proportion of total investment than their historic averages. Preliminary estimates of the investment volume in Poland after the third quarter of this year show the absolute dominance of the logistics sector.

Colliers is starting a new business line - Living Services - from the services offered so far by the Corporate Finance department. The new line will focus exclusively on projects in the living sector and will be offered to clients operating not only in Poland but in the entire CEE region.
