Net proceeds from the sale will be used to further deleverage the business.

The disposal in Poland, to privately owned real estate firm Hines Global REIT, comprises approximately 73,000 square metres in five buildings, which are 93% occupied, located in Warsaw and Bedzin. The aggregate sales price for the Polish portfolio was €51.2 million.

The aggregate sales price for the German portfolio was €20.6 million. 

Both transactions, completed in line with market values, were part of the wider German and Polish portfolio disposals between Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD) and Tristan Capital Partners and Hines Global REIT respectively.
