ERSTE Realitná Renta Expands Portfolio with Strategic Logistics Acquisition
Real estate fund ERSTE Realitná Renta, that is available to clients through Slovenská sporiteľňa, has taken a significant step in its growth strategy by acquiring the Amazon Reverse Center in Sereď. This dynamic move strengthens the fund's position in the market and marks its entry into the real estate logistic segment.
The Amazon Reverse Center in Sereď is one of Amazon’s most important logistics hubs in Europe, being the only fully-dedicated returns processing center on the continent.

“This acquisition not only diversifies portfolio of the fund ERSTE Realitná Renta from office buildings to logistics, but also enhances exposure to a sector that is vital for the future of retail. Its strategic location near highways R1 and D1, BREEAM In-Use Excellent certification, and a stable, valuable tenant position place this asset among prime and core investments with attractive returns. For fund investors, this means increased portfolio resilience and the opportunity to benefit from the growing e-commerce trend,” explains Pavol Vejmelka, Head of the Erste Asset Management GmbH, pobočka Slovenská republika.
