Bucharest—Global law firm Dentons advised NEPI Rockcastle N.V. and its subsidiary NE Property B.V. on the renewal of two major revolving sustainability-linked credit facilities totaling
€290 million.

The first deal related to a €190 million facility made available by a syndicate of lenders led by BRD – Groupe Société Générale S.A. as mandated lead arranger and sustainability structuring bank. The club loan represents one of the most significant sustainability-linked loans in the commercial real estate sector in Romania in 2025. BRD – Groupe Société Générale S.A. committed €100 million, while UniCredit Bank S.A. committed €50 million and Garanti Bank S.A. committed €40 million.

The second transaction was a €100 million facility provided by ING BANK N.V., acting through ING Bank N.V. Amsterdam – Bucharest Branch. The deal strengthens NEPI Rockcastle’s commitment to sustainable development and responsible financing.

NEPI Rockcastle is the largest investor and developer of shopping centers in Central and Eastern Europe. Both financing structures are aligned with NEPI Rockcastle’s Sustainable Finance Framework, with the observance of the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles published by the Loan Market Association.

Partner Simona Marin, Head of the Banking and Finance practice in Bucharest, and counsel Sandra Constantin assisted NEPI with negotiating the transactions and successfully achieving closing.
