Helaba has backed the Swedish fund Niam in its first Polish transaction with a €104m loan. Making its introduction into Poland’s regional markets, the fund took over a 63,000 sqm office portfolio from Skanska in a deal which closed last year. Comprised of three projects, Kapelanka 42 and Axis in Kraków and Silesia Business Point in Katowice, the transaction marks the biggest CEE deal for the seller so far. Naim’s portfolio amounts to €2.7bn with a majority of the projects located in Southern Europe.
