LONDON and NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Revetas Capital Advisors LLP ("Revetas") and Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. and its affiliates ("Cerberus") today announced the acquisition of Project Nemo, a leading hotel complex with approximately 86,000 sqm of gross leasable area in a prime location in Bucharest, Romania. The complex includes the Radisson Blu and Park Inn hotels, featuring a total of 697 guest rooms operated by the Rezidor Hotel Group, as well as approximately 7,500 sqm of prime retail space anchored by high-end tenants such as Burberry and Hugo Boss.

Commenting on today's announcement, Eric Assimakopoulos, Managing Partner at Revetas, said, "Project Nemo is one of the most compelling hospitality and retail assets in the CEE region. As the fastest growing economy in the EU, Romania offers tremendous upside potential. We look forward to increasing the value of these properties in partnership with Cerberus."
