• CA Immo exits Croatia with sale of Zagrebtower office building
• Investment strategy focus on office buildings in Germany, Austria and core CEE capitals with local management teams

Vienna, 1 October 2020. CA Immo yesterday has signed and closed the sale of the Zagrebtower office building to Austrian property company S IMMO AG at a 5% premium to H1 2020 book value.

Keegan Viscius, Chief Investment Officer of CA Immo: "In parallel with our portfolio growth in CA Immo's core markets, we are also continuing to pursue our non-core sales strategy. With the sale of the Zagrebtower, we are withdrawing from a small CEE market at a sound sales price. In 2018 we started to speed up the process of focusing our strategic CEE portfolio on large-space, modern office properties in the big CEE capitals where we have local management teams in country, and where we believe we can generate appropriate level of risk adjusted returns. Since then, we have completed the exit from Slovenia, Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine as well as the exit from all secondary cities in Hungaria, Romania and Poland.”

Zagreb Tower is a class A building in an up-and-coming business district in the heart of the Croatian capital. The 79-metre structure, which commands superb views of the city, is one of the most impressive landmark buildings in Zagreb.

In addition, the building has a reception in the ground floor entrance area, an underground car park and around 500 outdoor parking spaces. Its expansive glass facades admit maximum natural daylight. Zagreb Tower meets high sustainability standards and has a BREEAM Excellent certification. The property generated € 3.6 m of annual gross rental income and was fully let (99%) as at 30 June 2020.
