NEW CHAPTER FOR THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY – CBRE EXPANDS ITS HOTEL INVESTMENT DEPARTMENT

30 listopada 2016

CBRE is the first consultancy in Poland to expand its Hotel Investment Department, thus increasing the number of commercial property market sectors serviced.

CBRE has for many years now been operating on the hotel market, where the CBRE Hotels business line has been extremely active in Western Europe. Expanding the business in Poland to include this particular sector constitutes a strategic business decision stemming from the growing interest from investors and hotel chain operators.

The Polish team is now joined by Marta Abratowska-Janiec who has been appointed Senior Consultant in CBRE’s new department: Hotel Investment. In her new role Marta will be responsible for developing the new business line while closely cooperating with CBRE’s Hotels Department for Europe. The department will be offering clients comprehensive advisory services in respect of investment planning, operational support, valuations and transaction management.

Marta has worked for the hotel sector since the beginning of her professional career. She gained her experience while working for Horwath HTL, where she collaborated with investment funds, developers and international hotel chains. Additionally, Marta participated in some of the largest hotel transactions in the history of the Polish market, i.e. the sale of Warsaw’s Intercontinental Hotel. She holds Cornell University Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management certification. Marta holds Cornell University Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management certification. She graduated from Tourism at Warsaw University of Life Sciences. Her expertise is further documented by two scholarships at the universities in Germany, Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich and Karl Marx University in Trier. Moreover, she holds numerous certificates issued by: ESSEC Business School and the PRINCE2 Foundation. She speaks fluent English and German.

The growth of the real estate market is a natural signal to develop our advisory offer. It represents a great challenge for us, but at the same time it brings us a unique opportunity to create a new market practice. I am certain that by combining the experience held by the CBRE Hotels team with the expertise of Marta Abratowska – Janiec and by collaborating with the various business lines within our organization, CBRE will be able to offer our clients integrated services of the highest quality.
