Apsys has announced the sale of a stake in the company owning Posnania, the 100,000 sqm retail and entertainment destination in Poznań. The purchaser is Trigea, a Czech real estate investment fund specialising in commercial properties.
The transaction forms part of Apsys Group’s long-term strategy of bringing capital partners into mature assets while maintaining an active role in their ongoing development and management. It also demonstrates Apsys’ ability to unlock value from established assets, even in a challenging market environment, enabling the Group to finance future investments and continue executing its growth strategy.
Since opening in 2016, Posnania has strengthened its position as one of Poland’s leading retail and leisure destinations. Today, it remains among the market leaders in terms of footfall and tenant performance, attracting both consumers and top international and domestic brands.
Trigea’s entry into Posnania’s shareholder structure reflects the project’s successful development and confirms its attractiveness to long-term institutional investors. Posnania combines strong operational performance with significant growth potential, making it one of the most attractive retail and entertainment assets in the Polish market.
The sale of the stake was completed based on a valuation close to that determined by independent appraisers, highlighting the quality of the asset and its attractiveness to both investors and real estate market experts.
Following the completion of the transaction, Apsys will remain a co-owner and shareholder of Posnania. Together with Trigea, it will serve as an asset manager while continuing to oversee property management, leasing, and marketing activities. The centre’s management model and development strategy will remain unchanged.
In 2019, Apsys refinanced Posnania with a €300 million senior loan with a ten-year maturity, reflecting strong confidence in the project, which had already demonstrated its market strength and growth potential just three years after opening.
Since then, Posnania has continued to strengthen its market position. In 2025, the centre welcomed 14 million visitors, an increase of 5.1% year-on-year and 5.9% above the market average. Tenant sales increased by 6.5%, outperforming the market by 4.4%. Numerous brand debuts and sustained demand from both customers and tenants further underline the asset’s attractiveness.
Posnania is home to more than 300 Polish and international brands, a comprehensive food and beverage offering, extensive entertainment facilities, and a rich events programme, creating a destination that goes far beyond the traditional shopping centre concept.
Maurice Bansay, Founder and Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Apsys, commented:”This transaction is the strongest validation of the work carried out by Apsys teams since Posnania opened in 2016. In less than ten years, Posnania has become one of the most successful and attractive retail and entertainment projects in Poland. The entry of Trigea, a long-term institutional investor, into the shareholder structure demonstrates confidence in Posnania’s quality and long-term growth potential, as well as in Apsys’ expertise in creating, developing, and managing exceptional destinations. Apsys will remain fully committed to Posnania’s future development alongside Trigea. The transaction also provides the financial flexibility needed to continue delivering our ambitious growth strategy.”
Tomáš Trčka, Founder and Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Trigea, added: “Trigea is pleased to acquire a stake in Posnania, a well-established project recognised for its quality and dynamic growth. This investment is fully aligned with our strategy of investing in high-quality assets located in attractive locations, with strong market positions, high occupancy levels, and solid business fundamentals. We look forward to working with Apsys, whose proven expertise in managing and developing projects of this kind will be a significant asset in further strengthening Posnania’s market position.”
