The property is located at 3 Graniczna Street in Malopole, about 35 km from the centre of Warsaw, in the immediate vicinity of the S8 connecting several Polish major cities from North-East to South-West directions.
Anne Schwartz, managing director of Paref Gestion, said: 'We are very pleased with this first acquisition in Poland for our new fund - SCPI Interpierre Europe Centrale.
'Man Centre in Malopole is a property greatly matching the investment criteria of the fund – asset with recognized tenant, with long lease agreement, in attractive location. We aim to build up a portfolio of high quality assets which will generate attractive income.'
