Adventum Acquires Eight Retail Properties in Poland from Ceetrus and Auchan

A fund managed by Adventum Group has acquired a portfolio of eight shopping centres in Poland from Ceetrus and Auchan as part of the sellers’ ongoing portfolio restructuring strategy.

The buyer is Adventum Penta Fund SCA SICAV-RAIF, a Luxembourg-based fund managed by Adventum Group, which focuses on commercial real estate investments across Central and Eastern Europe. The transaction received approval from Poland’s Office of Competition and Consumer Protection on 19 December 2025.

The properties were previously owned jointly by Ceetrus and Auchan. Nhood, acting as strategic advisor and representative of Ceetrus’ co-owner, coordinated the sales process and provided transaction advisory services.

According to the parties involved, Nhood was responsible for managing discussions with potential investors, coordinating the due diligence process and preparing the technical, financial, legal and operational documentation required for the transaction. The firm also oversaw communication between the buyer’s advisors and the property owners and coordinated cooperation between Ceetrus and Auchan during the process.

The disposal forms part of Ceetrus’ broader asset management strategy in Europe, which involves reshaping its portfolio by focusing investment on selected core assets while divesting properties considered non-strategic. The approach is intended to release capital for new development projects and to support the diversification of the company’s real estate holdings.

Raluca Crisan, Portfolio Director at Ceetrus, said the transaction supports the company’s plan to concentrate investment on its most strategic locations in Poland while enabling further development initiatives.

Adventum Group manages investment funds specialising in commercial real estate across Central and Eastern Europe. According to the company, its managed funds currently hold a portfolio exceeding 700,000 square metres of retail and office space across several regional markets, including Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania.
