Solid development activity and more “value add” acquisitions during 2018 secures further growth of GTC’s portfolio and its value appreciation. Our asset management and leasing teams could conclude ca. 190,000 sq m lease agreements during the year, confirming the quality of GTC’s office and retail portfolio. – commented Thomas Kurzmann, CEO. Significantly improved FFO and other key economic parameters allow us to recommend a dividend of PLN 0.37, an increase of 12% over the dividend of 2017. We are looking forward to completing almost 80,000 sq m of office and retail space during 2019 and this will further improve our in place rent by 15%. GTC is well-prepared for 2019 and beyond, to deliver superior value appreciation to its stakeholders. – added Thomas Kurzmann.
