History

[edit]

The company's history dates back to the foundation of Czech Property Investments a.s. (CPI a.s.) in 1991.[16][17] Throughout the 1990s the company expanded its business abroad through acquisitions in Central Eastern Europe, across multiple real estate segments, including the acquisition of a residential portfolio in the Czech Republic in 2003.

In 2013, CPI a.s. acquired ABLON Group Limited,[18] which owned a significant property portfolio in the CEE region. In 2014, CPI a.s. combined with Orco Property Group, the majority owner of Orco Germany, which owned a portfolio of office properties in Berlin. Following the company's name change to GSG Group, the company was renamed again to CPI Property Group. Since then, CPIPG has grown to become a leading European landlord with total assets exceeding €21 billion. The Group operated a well-diversified, large portfolio, which is supported by a conservative, investment-grade capital structure, with access to the international bond and bank markets.
