Accolade has branched its traditional investment focus on industrial properties to include investments in energy and water supply. Hospodářské noviny reports Accolade has acquired shares in Chevak Cheb (28.16%), Terea Cheb (50%) and KMS Kraslická (50%) from the Germany company Gelsenwasser AG. The companies provide heat and water to the towns in their name, with Cheb and Kraslická holding the remaining 50% of the last two companies listed. Accolade’s co-founder Milan Kratina told HN the investments were a way of strengthening the company’s position in northern Bohemia, where it owns around 200,000 sqm of industrial space. “From a long-term perspective, we’ve always found that the most successful projects are the ones where we focus primarily on investments into residents in the regions where we plan to be active.”
