The centre, which was fully owned by the hausInvest open-ended property fund, will be held in a 50-50 joint venture with Unibail-Rodamco being in charge of asset and property management.

The transaction took the form of a share deal whose details were kept confidential.

The deal reinforces Unibail Rodamco's presence in the Czech capital where it already owns two malls, Centrum Chodov and Cerny Most.

'With the joint venture we are laying the basis for a profitable and successful partnership,' said Roland Holschuh, member of the board of managing directors of Commerz Real. 'Unibail-Rodamco has the expertise, the necessary local networks and the personnel resources to expedite the best-possible value development of the property.'

Metropole Zlicín has been in the portfolio of hausInvest since 2004. It provides 56,000 m2 of lettable space in the western part of Prague, and is fully let with anchor tenants such as C&A, H&M, Ahold and Decathlon.

Commerz Real was advised by JLL, law firm Giese & Partner and the TPA Group. Unibail-Rodamco was assisted by Dentons, Clifford Chance and KPMG.
