AFI Europe, owner of among others the largest mall in Bucharest, has completed the takeover of the portfolio consisting of four office projects from NEPI Rockcastle, in the most important office transaction in Romanian history. With a value of EUR 307 million, the transaction through which NEPI Rockcastle, advised by Colliers International, sold four office projects to AFI Europe, advised by JLL Romania, represents a third of the real estate investment market estimated at about one billion euro in 2020. The acquisition places Romania on the map of large strategic investors and has the potential to become a catalyst for significant new transactions in the future, being an important benchmark for local market liquidity and contributing to increasing investor confidence, according to Colliers International specialists.
The sale of the NEPI Rockcastle office portfolio to AFI Europe, first agreed on at the end of 2019, is probably the largest transaction with revenue generating commercial real estate assets in Romania, competing with major transactions in Central and Eastern Europe. In addition, it is the most important strategic sale of a portfolio brokered by Colliers International in Romania.
