Torus has sold phase 1 of Alchemia office complex in Gdańsk to a joint venture between a fund managed by Bluehouse Capital Advisor and an investment vehicle comprising Polish investors and managed by independent Polish fund and asset manager REINO Partners – REINO Dywidenda Plus SA (a joint-stock company – the dividend vehicle generating stable profits to investors). Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller in the transaction.
Alchemia is a Class A office complex located at 411 Grunwaldzka Avenue in Gdańsk. It is the most modern multifunctional complex in Tricity, which will ultimately consist of four towers interconnected by a four-storey base and two independent buildings featuring offices, ground floor retail, and sports and leisure facilities. Alchemia will be delivered in four phases of which the first one was the subject of the transaction. The complex benefits from excellent public transport links, with numerous bus routes on its doorstep and direct access to the platform of the Fast City Train, interconnecting the whole conurbation.
Completed in December 2013, the 24,647 m² Alchemia phase 1 comprises two towers (Aurum and Platinum) of eight and six storeys, with separate reception areas, interconnected with a four-storey podium building.
