The French-based adviser said it had advised Neinver during tender proceedings and negotiations with PKP on an investment agreement for the construction of Katowice project.
The modernised railway station in Katowice will become a part of a multifunctional structure comprising commercial and office space. Parts of the renewed transport network will be constructed below the new structure.
'This is a European-level investment. A combination of public purpose and commercial structures is typical for modern investments currently implemented across Europe, but in Poland it should still be considered a pioneering project. This is also the first railway station modernisation project implemented as a joint venture between PKP and a private investor,' said Andrzej Lulka, legal advisor and partner at Gide Loyrette Nouel in charge of the project.
The value of the transaction is estimated at PLN 1 bn (EUR 240 mln).
