Q&A with Radim Passer, CEO, Chairman of the Board, Passerinvest Group, Czech Republic

28 April 2016

Is the CEE/SEE region likely to attract more institutional investment? (and if so why?)

The higher returns compared to top markets in Western Europe will keep CEE/SEE region attractive to institutional investors. For example, Asian investors are looking for opportunities at CEE/SEE.

Where are the pockets of opportunity for so-called ‘frustrated opportunistic capital’?

In CEE/SEE region, these kind of opportunities could be in established locations with assets requiring reconstruction/redevelopment together with repositioning on the market through active asset management. Some niche sectors could also provide opportunities.

Which asset classes are you focusing on? (and why?)

We are focusing to office assets because we have a long term experience from that sector.

Tell us about one of your projects.
