CPIPG owns a property portfolio valued at over €20 billion, focused on the Czech Republic, Berlin, Poland and the CEE region. Nearly half of the portfolio consists of offices in key central European capital cities of Berlin, Prague, and Warsaw where we hold leading positions.

With 889 commercial properties, more than 6,000 international and local tenants, and exposure to multiple geographies and property segments, CPIPG's portfolio is large and well-diversified.

We are proud of our active asset management and local teams: in every country where we operate, our teams have daily contact and close relationships with tenants.

Our property portfolio is supported by a conservative, investment-grade capital structure, with superb access to the international bond and bank markets.

Sustainability is central to everything we do, and the Group has made bold ESG commitments including environmental targets which are aligned to the Paris agreement. 

Our founder and primary shareholder, Radovan Vítek, fully supports CPIPG's plans and strategic objectives for the future.
