What Globe Trade Centre does

Globe Trade Centre S.A. (GTC) is a publicly listed commercial real estate developer and investor headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, with operations spanning six Central and Eastern European markets plus Germany. Founded in 1994, the company has developed more than 82 office and retail properties and serves multinational corporate tenants, retail operators, and (more recently) German residential tenants. The company is dual-listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) under ticker GTC, and reports EPRA net tangible assets of EUR 1,124 million at end-2025.

GTC's core offering is Class A office space and shopping mall/retail centers across Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, and Serbia, with 99% of commercial buildings holding LEED, BREEAM, or DGNB sustainability certifications. Flagship assets include University Business Park (Łódź), Aeropark Business Centre (Warsaw), Duna Tower (Budapest), Mall of Sofia, Sofia Tower 1 & 2, City Gate (Bucharest), Centerpoint 1&2 (Budapest), and Avenue Center (Zagreb). In 2024-2025, GTC expanded into a new asset class by acquiring a German residential portfolio from Peach Property Group. Anchor tenants include Ericsson, evosoft, IBM Business Consulting Services, Sanofi-Aventis, and UNIQA. The portfolio achieved 87% occupancy at end-2025, with 151,000+ sqm of commercial space leased during the year.

GTC generates revenue primarily through recurring commercial property leasing (EUR 202 million in rental and service revenue in 2025, up 8% year-on-year) supplemented by transactional proceeds from asset sales (EUR 135 million in net proceeds in 2025). Leasing is executed directly through wholly-owned regional subsidiaries, with weighted average lease terms of 3.5 years for office space and 3.6 years for retail space. The 2025 financial year saw active capital structure management: EUR 455 million of senior secured notes were issued, EUR 494 million of legacy GTC Aurora bonds were refinanced, and EUR 330 million of bank loans were refinanced. Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 102 million in 2025 (down from EUR 108 million in 2024), with FFO I at EUR 33 million (down from EUR 68 million), and a net LTV ratio of 57.0% (up from 52.7%). Q1 2026 results showed a return to growth, with rental and service revenue up 7% and Adjusted EBITDA up 19% year-on-year.

Direct peers

• EPP (Echo Polska Properties): EPP is the largest shopping center owner in Poland and a direct CEE retail real estate peer to GTC, sharing the same Warsaw-listed ecosystem and Polish commercial tenant base. GTC's incoming CFO previously served as EPP's CFO, underscoring the close comparability.
• CPI Property Group: CPI Property Group is one of the largest CEE real estate owners, with a diversified portfolio of offices, retail, and hospitality across the same geographies (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria) where GTC operates. It is a directly comparable institutional-grade CEE platform.
• NEPI Rockcastle: NEPI Rockcastle is the largest listed retail real estate platform in CEE, with shopping centers concentrated in Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, and Croatia — a near-perfect geographic and asset-class overlap with GTC's retail portfolio.
• Globalworth: Globalworth is a leading CEE office real estate investor and developer, with portfolios in Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Serbia — overlapping directly with GTC's office footprint and tenant base. It is a directly comparable Class A office platform.
• HB Reavis: HB Reavis is a privately held CEE office developer active in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and the UK. It directly competes with GTC in delivering Class A office space to multinational tenants across overlapping CEE geographies.
• Atrium European Real Estate: Atrium is a listed owner-operator of shopping centers across Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania — directly comparable to GTC's retail segment in terms of geography, asset class, and tenant mix.

Regional players

• Wing (Hungarian developer): Wing is one of Hungary's largest domestic real estate developers and investors, with office, retail, and mixed-use assets. It is directly comparable to GTC's Hungarian subsidiary (Centerpoint, Duna Tower, Pillar) but operates primarily within Hungary rather than pan-CEE.
• REICO (ČS nemovitostní fond): REICO is the largest Czech real estate fund managed by ČS nemovitostní, with office and retail assets primarily in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is comparable as a regional CEE institutional real estate vehicle, though it does not directly compete in all GTC geographies.

Broad incumbents

• CA Immobilien Anlagen (CA Immo): CA Immo is a Vienna-listed real estate company with significant office exposure in CEE (especially Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania). It is comparable to GTC's office portfolio but operates a broader, more geographically diversified European platform.
• Immofinanz: Immofinanz is an established Austrian commercial real estate group with retail and office assets across CEE. Its myhive office brand and STOP SHOP retail parks overlap conceptually with GTC's office and mall portfolio, although Immofinanz has a broader European footprint.
