Tristan’s EPISO 3 fund acquires office Park in prime Kraków location (PL)

Dan Harris, Managing Director - Investments, Tristan said: “This is an attractive investment due to the positive rental market dynamics of Krakow, the second largest office market in Poland and one of the most thought-after SSC and BPO locations in Europe. Additionally, its micro-location in the south of the old town offers unparalleled access both by car and public transport to the city, airport and the growing residential development community.”

The asset is long let to blue-chip tenants such as Cisco and Delphi. Upon final completion, the Asset will comprise more than 50,000 m² gross leasable area and 1,370 parking spaces.
