HAVEL & PARTNERS advised the buyer, the Czech company ZFP Investments, on the acquisition of the Blumental Offices project into its real estate fund. The office building, located in a strategic location on the border of Bratislava's Old Town and offering 21,597 square meters of leasable area, was purchased by ZFP Investments from the Slovak developer group CORWIN. In addition to its location, the project's strengths also include a high level of environmental certification LEED Gold. It is one of the most environmentally friendly buildings in Slovakia, comprising more than 16,000 square metres of office space and almost 3,500 square metres of retail space. The building won the prestigious Building of the Year 2018 award in the category “Application of Science and Research in the Design and Construction of a Building”

This year it is one of the largest transactions on the office space market in the Slovak capital city. The buyer was advised by our firm’s partners Lukáš Syrový and Ondřej Majer, and associate Peter Košecký.

This is yet another acquisition by ZFP Investments in Slovakia. Currently in Slovakia, it owns the Forum Shopping Centre in Poprad and the land in Triblavina, where a logistics centre is to be built. “We are pleased to continue expanding our portfolio of Class A office buildings,” said Peter Lukáč, vice chairman of ZFP Investments, in the company's press release. “The Blumental property meets all the requirements of a premium property and fits perfectly into our diversified portfolio.”
