Key projects your company worked on between Julay 2022 and June 2023	Following the acquisition of the IMMOFINANZ portfolio, our primary objective became the successful implementation of an owner-driven property management model. This model, which had already been effective in CPIPG-owned buildings, was extended to all 10 office properties in Warsaw and 15 retail properties across Poland within the IMMOFINANZ portfolio. The introduction of owner-driven property management entailed the standardization of all procedures, the implementation of consistent service standards, modernization practices, and improved tenant communication. This was a pivotal project that commenced in the summer of 2022, requiring an expansion of our workforce across all service areas. Today, our company employs over 200 individuals. The owner-driven management model was implemented in office buildings in May 2023 and in retail properties in July 2023
Number, size and type of retail projects under management between July 2022 and June 2023	CPIPG manages two retail property portfolios – CPIPG and IMMOFINANZ, which together comprise 23 retail properties located in 20 cities across Poland. This includes a network of 4 Vivo! shopping centers in Lublin, Pila, Stalowa Wola, and Krosno, two retail centers – Ogrody in Elblag and Orkan in Lublin, 11 STOP SHOP retail parks, and 6 CityMarket retail parks. The total surface area of these properties amounts to nearly 254,000 square meters, with a combined value exceeding 430 million euros. All of these retail facilities are prominent centers in their respective regions or key shopping destinations for local communities. They are fully commercialized, with a carefully curated tenant mix tailored to the external environment, primary functions of the property, and the reach and needs of shoppers.
Number, size and type of office projects under management between July 2022 and June 2023	CPIPG manages 24 office properties in Warsaw, consisting of 14 from the CPI Property Group portfolio and 10 branded under myhive from the IMMOFINANZ portfolio. The total managed office space amounts to 560,000 square meters. These properties offer excellent infrastructure and numerous amenities and are strategically located in attractive areas for tenants, including the city center, Mokotow, the vicinity of Wola, and along the Aleje Jerozolimskie corridor. They are distinguished by their high-quality finishes, modern management systems, and technical solutions, with ongoing renovations and enhancements. Community management initiatives are also conducted within these properties.

Please say why you should be considered for the award	CPI Property Group has swiftly transitioned and standardized management to owner-driven standards across 25 IMMOFINANZ properties: 10 office buildings in Warsaw and 15 retail in Poland. The owner-driven property management has allowed us to leverage economies of scale, resulting in significant cost optimization (8% operational cost savings). This approach is instrumental in minimizing expenses borne by tenants, a crucial consideration in the current economic climate. The adoption of the owner-driven management model enables us to focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies, emphasizing green solutions and social aspects. Tenants of both office and retail spaces now have quicker and direct communication with the property owner, facilitating the prompt resolution of any issues. As both owner and manager, we find it easier to discuss day-to-day business matters, plan property development, and implement changes. CPIPG has also increased occupancy by an average of 2.3p.p. and achieved a rise in headline rent.
