PeliPartners is proud to announce its role in assisting WDP, one of the largest logistics real estate companies, with a significant acquisition on the Romanian market. WDP's acquisition includes around 135,000 sqm of directly yielding assets and 300,000 sqm of development potential, representing an investment of approximately €110 million.

PeliPartners provided comprehensive support to WDP throughout the transaction, encompassing due diligence, negotiation and execution of the transaction documents. PeliPartners has a successful partnership with WDP, as previously assisted their client with the acquisition of Arad Business Park, with an area of 42,000 sqm logistics centre in Arad.
