Credit Suisse has obtained a €90 mln medium term credit facility from German lender pbb for the acquisition of a prime office tower in Warsaw.
Two real estate funds managed by Credit Suisse inked a deal with developer Strabag to purchase the Astoria office building, which is fully let to a mix of international and state-owned companies. The transaction volume was not disclosed.
'Astoria is one of the most prestigious buildings in Warsaw, situated in a superb micro location and characterised by its high construction quality and sustainability,' said Holger Herb, head EMEA at Credit Suisse Asset Management Global Real Estate.
The 10-storey asset, located in Warsaw’s central business district close to Marszalkowska Street and Jerozolimskie Avenue, comprises a gross lettable area of over 19,000 m2.

'The deal underlines our continued strong interest in the CEE real estate markets, in particular in the office markets in key cities.'
Munich-headquartered pbb acted as arranger and sole lender.
