The developer sold the 23-storey office tower for €120 million to the Valesco Group, a real estate investment manager from London, and AIP Asset Management, an asset manager based in Seoul.

“This prime asset, coupled with an exceptional principal tenant in Amazon in the growing core of Bratislava, offers a unique and compelling investment opportunity,” said Shiraz Jiwa, CEO of The Valesco Group, as quoted in the firm's press release.
