Mike Edwards, Partner, Head of Capital Markets at Cushman & Wakefield in Budapest said: “This is the latest disposal for CIB Bank that we have been involved with following the transaction of one of their other former operational offices earlier this year. The deal further demonstrates the return of fresh international capital to the market and illustrates that interest has spread beyond the prime and value add sectors to speculative opportunities”
