EfTEN Real Estate Fund acquires Prisma building in Narva from Vicus
EfTEN Real Estate Fund purchased the Prisma Peremarket property in Narva, marking the 13th acquisition for the Fund as well as expansion of geographical reach.
According to Viljar Arakas, the CEO of EfTEN Capital, the estate is a good match to the Fund’s profile. “The property is a good investment with the location in a residential district and a strong, long-term single tenant. We have a good working relationship with Prisma Peremarket in Mustika Centre in Tallinn, so we are excited about the opportunity to develop the cooperation further in Narva,” Arakas said. “We have three previous investments in the retail property field: Mustika Centre in Tallinn, Lepa Centre in Pärnu and Uku Centre in Viljandi, so we are extending our reach in the retail segment as well as geographically – Narva is a new town in our portfolio.”
The seller is a Finnish real estate developer and investor Vicus. “Since 2009 we have developed three hypermarkets for Prisma in Narva, Tartu and Riga and at the moment have one more under development in Vilnius. Sale of the Narva property is the first exit, proving our strategy successful. We are very satisfied with the outcome of this project which was started amidst the deepest financial crisis in 2009”, says Risto Hiekka, CEO of the management company Vicus Capital Advisors.
