Echo Investment signed a sale agreement for the complex comprising two office buildings. The agreed price is about €110 million.

Preferences and housing needs of Poles and what they would like to change in their own place were studied by Echo Investment. The first edition of the report "There's no place like home, or how Poles live," analyzes, among other things, what our requirements are when it comes to our own four walls, what motivates us when we buy an apartment, and whether we purchase it mainly for our own needs or as an investment. The report proves that in Poland owning one' s own apartment is still identified with being independent.
