History edit

JTRE (J&T Real Estate) was founded in 1996[2] in Bratislava, Slovakia as J&T Global by Slovak businessman Peter Korbačka as part of the J&T Finance Group. The first project was Mestské vily Machnáč, a residential development on the Bratislava Castle hill in Slovakia. The first office development was the reconstruction of Westend Tower in the Patrónka neighborhood of Bratislava, Slovakia.

Over time, JTRE acquired numerous high-profile land lots in Bratislava and Prague and the company graduated into developing whole city neighborhoods, such as the new downtown of Bratislava branded as Eurovea City. In 2006 the company changed its name to the current J&T Real Estate and two years later JTRE Holding was established dividing from J&T Finance Group. It diversified its portfolio with hotel property development in Moscow (Hotel Baltschug Kempinski Moscow), Bratislava (Grand Hotel River Park) and the High Tatra mountains (Grand Hotel Kempinski High Tatras) as well as branching out into industrial halls development and retail space development (Eperia Shopping Mall in Prešov).[5]

In 2018 the company entered the UK real estate market by acquiring a project in the South Bank neighborhood of London. The project is being developed as Triptych Bankside due to be completed in 2022.[7] In 2019 J&T Real Estate acquired the London-based real estate developer Sons & Co London Limited and transformed it into JTRE London Limited.[8] As of 2019 J&T Real Estate had developed 1 million sqm of property valued at over €1.6 billion.
