History

[edit]

The company's history dates back to the foundation of Czech Property Investments a.s. (CPI a.s.) in 1991.[13][14] Throughout the 1990s the company expanded its business abroad through acquisitions in Central Eastern Europe, across multiple real estate segments, including the acquisition of a residential portfolio in the Czech Republic in 2003.[citation needed]

In 2013, CPI a.s. acquired ABLON Group Limited,[15] which owned a significant property portfolio in the CEE region. In 2014, CPI a.s. combined with Orco Property Group, the majority owner of Orco Germany, which owned a portfolio of office properties in Berlin. Following the company's name change to GSG Group, the company was renamed again to CPI Property Group.[citation needed]
