The French investment firm has purchased its first site in Poland after completing a deal for Park Handlowy Matarnia from Ingka Centres.
Antoine Frey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Frey said: “This acquisition will enable Frey to continue to implement its strategy of becoming the European leader in sustainable retail. A Prime retail park ideally located in one of Poland’s most dynamic cities, Matarnia Park Gdansk also benefits from the attraction of one of Poland’s first IKEA’s on site. Frey will be able to transform this high-potential asset to bring it up to the standards of its Shopping Promenade® concept and get the most out of it. This acquisition also marks Frey’s first investment in Poland, one of the most dynamic economies in Europe.”
Karoline Nader-Gräff, Global Investments and Divestments Manager at Ingka Centres said: “The completion of this successful transaction with Frey is a testament to Matarnia Park’s strong performance track record and proven resilience during the pandemic and against a transitioning retail landscape. We are excited to have facilitated Frey’s first footprint in the Polish market and look forward to seeing Matarnia Park continue to prosper under new ownership.”
