3. Industrial & Logistics Leasing: Rental income from SpacePlus warehouse and logistics facilities (dedicated to SMEs) across locations including Chitila and Popești-Leordeni near Bucharest.
4. Student Housing (PBSA): Rental income from purpose-built student accommodation (TRIBERA Warszawa Mokotów with 675 beds, targeting 656 beds delivered in 2026), providing recurring revenue from student tenants.
