With a clear focus on Western Europe (a minimum portfolio weighting of at least 75%) and specifically targeting the light industrial / logistics and office sectors (also with a minimum portfolio weighting of at least 75%), CEREIT aims to cement its position in these core areas of the real estate market. The strategic emphasis leans heavily towards the light industrial and logistics sector while also underscoreing the importance of investing in core office assets located in gateway cities throughout Europe. Governed by principles of resilience, ethical practice, and social responsibility, CEREIT is committed to contributing positively to all stakeholders, a strategy believed to cultivate higher risk-adjusted returns. This is paired with a dedication to maintaining a balanced capital structure for long-term sustainability. CEREIT manages a significant portfolio valued at €2.3 billion, comprised of 110 mainly freehold properties strategically positioned in or near major gateway cities across the Netherlands, Italy, France, Poland, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom. The aggregated lettable area of these properties amounts to approximately 1.8 million sqm, catering to over 800 tenant-customers.

Ltd., a subsidiary of the global real estate investor and fund manager, Cromwell Property Group, which itself is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange Ltd and has operations in 15 countries globally.
CEREIT is primarily engaged in investing in a diverse assortment of commercial properties that generate steady income streams. These investments span across Europe, with a strong focus on Western Europe and primarily encompass properties within the lucrative sectors of light industrial / logistics and office spaces.

With a sprawling portfolio of 110 properties valued at €2.3 billion, CEREIT offers expert portfolio management services, ensuring optimal performance of its assets. This encompassing approach includes regular assessments to ascertain and implement efficient utilization of properties, lease management to maintain and enhance occupancy rates, and strategic acquisitions or disposals to align the portfolio with current market conditions and future growth prospects.

This involves adopting measures that reduce environmental impact, improving energy efficiency across the portfolio, and ensuring the well-being of tenants and communities in which it operates. These practices not only contribute to the societal good but also enhance the resilience and appeal of its investment offerings, drawing in stakeholders who prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria.
