Munich-headquartered Arcona Capital and Warsaw-listed REINO Capital have finalised the terms of a strategic partnership to establish a pan-European investment platform. This collaboration, which leverages Arcona’s significant operational presence in Prague and its deep roots in the Czech market, aims to provide institutional investors with a robust vehicle for cross-border real estate investment. The platform’s inaugural project will focus on the logistics sector across the German, Dutch, and Polish markets, with future expansion planned to capitalise on Arcona’s established asset management infrastructure in the Czech Republic and other core European territories.
Arcona Capital, which manages a diverse portfolio exceeding €400 million across seven markets, will integrate its specialised regional expertise with REINO’s €600 million Polish portfolio. The partnership is designed to optimise local market leadership: Arcona will assume the primary operational role in the Netherlands and utilise its extensive Munich and Prague-based resources to co-manage the German market through a newly established joint venture. REINO Partners will lead operations in Poland. This structure ensures that management is driven by local experts who possess a granular understanding of regional market dynamics, particularly within the high-growth Central European corridor.
“Creating this platform is a direct response to the evolving needs of major investors who require large-scale, diversified portfolios to mitigate risk in today’s environment. By combining Arcona’s long-standing presence in markets like the Czech Republic and Germany with REINO’s strength in Poland, we are creating a unique bridge between Western and Central European real estate. This partnership allows us to offer top-tier logistics and office assets managed by a team with a proven track record of delivering value across borders,” says Guy Barker, Chairman of Arcona Capital.
The initiative is also designed to meet the sophisticated standards of institutional capital seeking stability through scale. “Creating such a platform is a response to the expectations of major investors who require large-scale portfolios and seek diversification to mitigate risk. By joining forces, we can guarantee top-quality real estate and projects in key European markets,” adds Tina Rauh, Principal of Arcona Capital.
For REINO, the partnership marks a definitive move toward internationalisation. Radosław Świątkowski, co-founder and CEO of the REINO Group, emphasised that while the firm remains a leader in the Polish market, the goal is to expand the asset management business beyond domestic borders. “Establishing a partnership with Arcona is an important step in building REINO’s international position. This is a response to the expectations of investors seeking geographic diversification within large portfolios. We will continue to fight for Polish REITs, but we must decouple REINO Partners’ further development from the Polish market alone,” Świątkowski noted.
To facilitate these investments, REINO is currently preparing the launch of a Luxembourg-based RAIF (Reserved Alternative Investment Fund). This vehicle is intended to serve as the platform’s primary investment or co-investment tool and will be managed by an entity established jointly by the two firms. Beyond the initial logistics focus, the parties intend to pursue joint strategic acquisitions of asset management companies to further scale the platform. By combining Arcona’s regulatory expertise, including its Dutch AIFMD license, with REINO’s development capabilities, the partners aim for rapid growth in assets under management across the European continent.
The platform remains open to additional local market collaborations that support its pan-European vision and is scheduled to officially launch at the end of September 2026.
