The largest transaction brokered by Cushman & Wakefield on the Polish market last year was the acquisition of the Magnolia Park shopping centre in Wrocław for nearly EUR 380m. The shopping centre offers approximately 100,000 sq m, making it one of the biggest in the region. Magnolia Park is home to 241 stores and attracts a footfall of almost 11 million visitors a year.

On the industrial market Cushman & Wakefield brokered Logicor’s acquisition by China Investment Corporation (CIC). Logicor is a leading owner and operator of modern logistics and distribution facilities in Europe. It owns 900,000 sq m of space in 28 warehouses across Poland.

“Last year witnessed a very strong investor activity on the investment market with Cushman & Wakefield involved in some of the largest deals, which is reflected in our annual performance and top place in the ranking. I have the pleasure of heading the best capital markets advisors team in CE.
