July 2025 – We are proud to announce that Kinstellar’s team in Slovakia acted as lead legal counsel to Mitiska REIM on the acquisition of OC Cassovia, one of the largest retail centres in Eastern Slovakia, located in the city of Košice.
The transaction was completed on behalf of the MEREP 3 fund, in partnership with local asset manager Asset Services, and with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) as co-investor. This marks another strategic milestone in Mitiska REIM’s expansion on the Slovak market.
OC Cassovia is a well-established regional shopping centre offering nearly 23,000 sqm of gross leasable area, 1,200 parking spaces, and an excellent location within a growing retail zone in the southern part of Košice. The new owner plans a major refurbishment of the asset focused on sustainability, layout optimisation, and enhancing the tenant mix.
Kinstellar provided comprehensive legal support covering both the transactional and financing aspects of the deal. The matter was successfully handled by a multidisciplinary team composed of Tomáš Melišek (Partner), Norbert Štilla and Michaela Straková (Senior Associates), and Dáša Labašová (Managing Associate), who advised on legal due diligence, acquisition structuring, transaction documentation, financing arrangements, and closing.
