Future plans
The Group have been focusing on green investments in the Core Central Eastern European markets (Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania) for years and this is becoming a clear advantage now as regulation catches up with the need for profitable ESG focused investments. The last two acquisitions of the Group’s latest fund PENTA (Sky Tower, a 56,000 sq m mixed-use project in Wrocław, and the 360,000 sqm retail park portfolio across Hungary and the Czech Republic) have reached quite a few headlines, however, deals like these take time, and although the Group have a number of deals in the pipeline, closing is still some way off. Nevertheless, deal opportunities are actively looked at, and offers are continuously provided. Continuous deal making, like the determination to comply with ESG standards, is one of the cornerstones of Adventum’s investment strategy, consequently Adventum is planning considerable investments in the next couple of years as well in the Core CEE Region.
Why the company deserves the award (in a paragraph you can describe the specific achievements of the company)
Despite the uncertainty on the global capital markets over the past months Adventum's commitment to complete the largest transaction of its history to date has been always supported by our investors and financing banks alike. This is considered a testament to the investment strategy and the core acquisition, and asset management skills of the Group.
