Vienna (02 October 2017) “Fast Track 2017” continues full steam: UBM Development has executed the sale of a major standing asset, the Romanian logistics park Chitila.
“On our path to becoming a pure play real estate developer, this sale is another step in implementing our strategy – the clear focus on the three core markets Germany, Austria and Poland and the three asset classes Hotel, Office, Residential”, said Andreas Zangenfeind, Head of Transactions and Member of the Executive Committee of UBM Development AG.
The Chitila Logistics Park (CLP), developed by UBM from 2007 till 2009, is located near Bucharest and is almost fully let. Tenants include the international logistics company Schenker, the newspaper printer Ringier Print and the pharmaceutical distributor Europharma. The property spans a plot of 93,000 m² and offers a modern, new-build logistics system with rentable areas from 1,750 m² to up to 45,000m².
