We provided full legal support to the Finnish special mutual fund Titanium Baltic Real Estate (Titanium) in its acquisition of the Ozols shopping centre in Riga from KS Holding, a real estate company co-owned by Kesko, Arturas Rakauskas and Zabolis Partners. The transaction was structured as a share deal and is Titanium’s first acquisition in Latvia.
About Ozols shopping centre
The 30,000 m2 shopping centre Ozols is the Kesko-Senukai flagship store in Latvia and is particularly special for a unique feature: a big oak growing in the middle of the complex. The asset was awarded the BREEAM In-Use “Very Good” environmental certification.
The property was acquired back in 2016 by KS Holding, which implemented a massive redevelopment project by changing the shopping centre’s outdated Azur concept into a brand-new DIY destination store as well as enlarging its GLA. The property is anchored by Kesko-Senukai and RIMI supermarket on a long-term basis.
