From the outset of the discussions, we have sensed operational synergies and a like-minded approach to creating innovative environments for our clients’ real estate investments. The combined knowledge, resources, and capability of Sierra Balmain will bring a new perspective to Poland and the region in the areas in which we operate,” said James Turner, Balmain Group Managing Director (photo).
