Skanska has sold the second building of the Equilibrium office complex in Bucharest to Magyar Posta Takarék Real Estate Investment Fund (MPTIA), a public real estate fund managed by Gránit Asset Management.
The transaction expands the public fund's portfolio to include both Equilibrium 1 and Equilibrium 2 buildings.
Equilibrium 2, completed in Q4 2022, offers approximately 20,000 sqm of office space across 11 floors. The building is located in northern Bucharest at the entrance to the Floreasca–Barbu Văcărescu submarket, recognised as the city's New Central Business District. The complex includes around 3,500 sqm of accessible green space designed for tenants and the surrounding community.
The building holds multiple certifications including LEED Platinum, confirming high efficiency in energy and water consumption; Access4You Silver, recognising barrier-free design and inclusivity; and WiredScore Platinum for operational buildings, validating digital connectivity and infrastructure performance.
"Equilibrium 2 divestment represents a natural continuation of the partnership built through last year's transaction of Equilibrium 1. This confirms the alignment between Skanska and Gránit Asset Management, ensuring continuity and stability for tenants and the wider Equilibrium community," said Gabriel Precup, Legal and Transaction Director for Skanska's commercial development business unit in CEE.
The deal aligns with Gránit Asset Management's 5B strategy, a regional investment approach focused on developing a portfolio of office buildings across Budapest, Bucharest, Belgrade, Vienna, and Bratislava. "This transaction validates the success of our strategy: we can acquire the most attractive office buildings in the region, providing our investors with direct access to high-quality, value-preserving real estate assets with stable income-generating potential," said Álmos Mikesy, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Gránit Asset Management.
In this deal, Skanska was supported by Peli Partners, Forvis-Mazars Romania, Ana-Maria Notingher, and Colliers. Gránit Asset Management was advised by NNDKP, Schoenherr, Optim, TPA Romania, and Grandum Real Estate.
