DRFG Investment Group has completed its first commercial property acquisition in Hungary by purchasing the Bartók Ház office building from CA Immo. Located in central Budapest, the property offers more than 17,600 sqm of leasable space. The transaction is part of the group's strategy to expand its real estate portfolio across Central and Eastern Europe.

Revetas Group has announced the sale of TriGranit to DRFG Investment Group for an undisclosed sum. TriGranit has over two decades of operations and has completed nearly 50 landmark projects, adding 1.7 million sqm of leasable area across seven countries in the region. 

TriGranit and Revetas Capital have officially obtained the occupancy permit for the second phase of the Millennium Gardens office complex. The two phases offer 37,000 sqm of office and retail space in the vicinity of the river Danube. 

We can see more interest coming from government entities to rent office space in modern office buildings in CEE. We also see large companies centralising their office spaces in a single building. Property Forum asked Tomasz Lisiecki, CEO of TriGranit about his assessment of these trends.

The first phase of the Millennium Gardens office building has opened its doors with an occupancy rate of over 90%, following an investment of €150 million from Revetas Capital for the development of the North Tower. Millennium Gardens is part of the portfolio of assets of Revetas Capital in Hungary, the pan-European real estate investment advisor that also manages 12 retail parks across the country. The project is being developed by TriGranit, which has more than 20 years of experience and has successfully implemented more than 50 landmark projects.

Millennium Gardens, developed by TriGranit in Budapest, is over the design stage of the two-stage BREEAM certification, which puts the office building in the Excellent category.

TriGranit has laid the foundation stone of the first phase of its new Class-A office development, Silesia for Business in Katowice, Poland. The office building will be the final element of the mixed-use development project of TriGranit, started 15 years ago and realised on a 30 hectares large brownfield area. The post-mining area today includes a shopping mall and residential estates, while the new office building, providing approx. 26,000 sqm GLA and more than 400 parking spaces, is expected to be completed in Q4, 2021.

The construction of Millennium Gardens, TriGranit’s newest office development in Budapest, has reached the ground floor level. Situated in a well-known cultural neighbourhood next to a green promenade by the Danube in Budapest, the 37,000 sqm GLA development will be handed over in Q2 2021.

Building H, the recently handed-over eighth component of the Bonarka for Business (B4B) project of TriGranit in Kraków, reached an occupancy rate of 60%. This Class A building, with an overall rental area of approx. 10,000 sqm, was handed over for use in April this year, simultaneously becoming the new office of, among others, the Aterima company, a long-time B4B tenant. Due to the large demand in Kraków for Class-A offices, TriGranit plans to construct two more buildings in the office complex (I and J), with a rental area of approx. 10,000 sqm each.

Building H, the eighth element of TriGranit’s Bonarka for Business (B4B), one of the most popular office complexes in Kraków, has been opened. The eight-storey, Class A office building with 9,855 sqm GLA already has a 45% occupancy rate, while the occupancy of Building F has recently reached 100%. So far in 2019, there have been more than 11,000 sqm new leases or lease extensions in the Bonarka office complex. TriGranit is preparing the delivery of two further office projects in the B4B complex, Building I and Building J, each with 10,000 sqm GLA.
