CPI Europe aligns business strategy with parent group

Green Forum
CPI Europe has announced an adjustment to its business strategy to better align with its existing group structure, recent business developments, and the market environment.   

The updated strategy aims to expand the company's portfolio to include all asset classes covered by its parent company, CPI Property Group, moving beyond its current focus on office and retail properties. 

The core markets of CPI Europe—Austria, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, and the Adriatic region—will remain unchanged. 

The revised strategy places a strong emphasis on optimal asset management and continuous value-enhancing investments in its properties. Furthermore, properties that no longer align with the business strategy or have limited growth potential will be divested as part of an active portfolio management approach.

CPI Europe plans to complement this with opportunistic acquisitions across all relevant asset classes and, where appropriate, individual project developments. Through these changes, CPI Europe aims to continue providing tenants with attractive properties and ensure long-term sustainable growth, supported by a robust financial structure.

A central element of the strategy remains the commitment to group-wide ESG targets. These include expanding energy generation from renewable sources like photovoltaic systems, introducing smart meters for digitalisation, and further developing the green lease strategy.

Smarter operations for older buildings: Unlocking fast energy savings with AI control

Older buildings usually consume more energy in operation than new construction. That is not only a cost issue. It also affects how an asset performs against market standards like BREEAM, EU Taxonomy, and CRREM, as well as regulations such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the rules for Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS). Many owners assume the only way to close the gap is a major refurbishment. Better insulation and new equipment certainly help, but they are expensive and disruptive. Investments in deep fabric and equipment upgrades can reach one to five percent of the asset value.
