Summary
PwC Advisory provided comprehensive transaction advisory services to Titanium Baltic Real Estate on its acquisition of the Wendre textile industry production complex located in Pärnu, Estonia. The Finnish real estate fund engaged PwC to conduct risk assessment, due diligence, and financial analysis in support of the purchase decision. The transaction team was led by project manager Raul Ruubel, with support from advisors Lisette Starostin and Andrea Pärtelpoeg.
The deal was structured as a sale and leaseback arrangement, a common strategy in real estate investment that provides immediate liquidity to the seller while securing long-term occupancy for the buyer. Under the agreement, Wendre will continue to occupy and operate the production facility, with the lease extending through the end of 2043. Notably, Wendre had previously rented the same facility from the prior owner, Trading House Eesti AS, indicating continuity of operations and tenant reliability.

The fund's portfolio encompasses several large-format commercial properties, including K-Rauta retail stores in Vilnius and Daugavpils, the Ozols shopping center in Riga, and the Viimsi Market building in Harjumaa, Estonia. The Wendre acquisition represents a continued expansion of the fund's industrial real estate holdings in the region, diversifying beyond traditional retail and office segments into light manufacturing and production facilities.
