Linklaters has advised NEPI Rockcastle on its acquisition of the Atrium Copernicus Shopping Center in Torun from G City Europe. Dentons advised the seller.
According to Dentons, “G City Europe sold the property as part of its strategy to reposition its portfolio toward large, high-quality dominant shopping malls in prime urban locations and to invest in a new class of assets.”
The agreed property value was EUR 127 million. The “Copernicus Shopping Center, with a gross leasable area of 48,000 square meters, is the dominant retail scheme in Torun, at the city’s strategic location,” Linklaters informed, with tenants including Auchan, H&M, Stradivarius, Media Markt, LPP, and Decathlon.
