The retail investment volume in Poland exceeded €1.7bn in the first quarter of 2018, according to JLL. “This is the largest volume ever recorded in Q1 on the Polish market. Given the number of ongoing transactions along with the availability of products, it is possible that retail investment deals will exceed €3bn by the end of 2018. This result would be €1bn higher than the one registered in 2017 and a record for Poland,” said Agnieszka Kołat, national director of retail investment for the CEE region at JLL. The largest transaction concluded in the first three months of 2018 was the sale of a portfolio of 28 commercial properties, sold by ARES/AXA/Apollo Rida to a Griffin Real Estate-led consortium for €1bn. The largest single transaction was the purchase of Galeria Katowicka by EPF from Meyer Bergman for an undisclosed amount, according JLL.
