Linklaters has advised NREP on a PLN 229 million loan from the EBRD, under the EBRD’s Resilience and Livelihoods Framework, to finance two residential rental projects in Warsaw. Clifford Chance reportedly advised the EBRD.
NREP is a Northern European real estate investor managing assets worth more than EUR 19 billion. It operates in Poland's residential rental market and offers fully furnished, contemporary apartments to a diverse range of tenants.
According to Linklaters, the approximately EUR 50 million “financing has been granted to the Polish subsidiaries of NREP Nordic Strategies Fund IV. The parties have signed an agreement on the first committed tranche of PLN 63.2 million (approximately EUR 13.5 million). The total loan amount of PLN 229 million includes an uncommitted tranche to finance future residential projects.”
Back in 2021, Linklaters advised NREP on its acquisition of more than 1,000 housing units in Warsaw from YIT (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on July 12, 2021).
Linklaters’ team included Partner Marta Domino, Counsel Adrian Horne, Managing Associate Jedrzej Palka, Senior Associate Maciej Checinski, Associate Marcin Woloszyn, and Junior Associate Przemysław Sanka.
