WOOD Flash – Echo Investment: launches Resi4Rent platform

Yesterday (22 May), Echo Investment (Echo) presented the details of Resi4Rent, a platform that Echo has established in a partnership with PIMCO (a 70% shareholder in a JV). Echo estimates that, within three-to-five years, the platform could hold around 5,000-7,000 units, becoming the largest institutional landlord in Poland. Along with Towarowa 22 (the large, mixed-use hub in the booming Wola district in Warsaw, where Echo could build up to 180k sqm of retail, resi, office and hotel space by 2022-24E), Resi4Rent represents another attractive long-term driver for the investment case, in our view.
