WARSAW, January 29, 2021 - Greenberg Traurig advised companies in the Marvipol group on the conclusion of preliminary agreements regarding the development and sale of residential and commercial units in three built-to-rent residential projects to the Swedish company Heimstaden Bostad.

The projects to be developed by Marvipol will include 647 residential units with an option to acquire additional 60 apartments as well as commercial units and parking spaces in Unique Tower, Moko Botanika and Studio Okęcie projects, located in the Wola, Służewiec and Włochy districts of Warsaw.

„The transaction on which we advised Marvipol is one of the first and, undoubtedly, the largest transaction of this type on the Polish real estate market.
