On October 12^th 2017, Zeritis Group signed a 5-year lease with PET4U for the first floor of its logistics and office building in Nea Erythraia. PET4U aims to utilize the 4,175 m² floor as its central warehouse for distributing pet products across Greece.

This is the first step of a vision formed by the founder of the Group, Panos Zeritis, regarding the development of the plot and the evolution of its surrounding areas. Being positioned ideally on the 18km of the National Road Athens-Lamia on the interchange to Varympompi while offering a multitude of areas for rent, from offices to warehouses to pure land for leisure uses, the asset is conceived to be transformed into a business and pleasure cross-road to and from Athens for a series of visitors, spanning from employees of tenant companies to families and travellers.

Dimitris Zeritis and Georgios Zeritis, Co-Heads of Business Development at Zeritis Group commented: “Portfolio-wise, this is probably the most unique asset of the Group’s real estate arm, therefore having the first tenant in the plot is a milestone. Most importantly, the deal portrays the traction in the real estate market of Greece, which is in need of investments to recover. By developing this plot, Zeritis Group remains truthful to its roots, supporting the country it was founded in and making steps towards forming the Greece of tomorrow.”

George Badouvakis, Country Manager Greece at Zeritis Group, commented: “This is the first step of a development plan which is set to accelerate. Every new tenant in the plot generates movement to and from the area. The target is to maximize the occupancy rate of the plot with a series of local and multinational tenants, as a means of keeping our revenue base stable and diversified.”
