Investment summary

Although the group's key property markets remain tough, the IMS for 1 July to 17 November confirmed stable operational activity. Annual gross rents and overall portfolio occupancy were maintained, the latter helped by the opening of a c 7,000sqm retail store within the group’s Buy-Way Dunakeszi shopping centre in Budapest, recently let to Möbelix. Footfall for the centre overall was reported to be well ahead. There was also a better financial performance by the Marriott Hotel. In July, Ablon began constructing the Karolkowa Business Park in Warsaw, with completion scheduled for mid-2013.

Industry outlook

Ablon has 15 income-generating investment properties plus 24 other projects and a landbank in Budapest, Prague, Bucharest, Warsaw and Gdansk. Occupational and investment demand in Budapest, the group's key market, appears to be picking up on the back of a gradual economic recovery and the group's new grade A office development in Warsaw targets occupiers in one of Europe's most robust economies.
