CEREIT recorded 1Q 2021 gross revenue and NPI of € 48.5 million and € 30.8 million , respectively , almost equal to the prior corresponding period of 2020 ( " 1Q 2020 ” ) , when the Eurozone economy was not yet affected by the COVID - 19 pandemic . Prolonged COVID - 19 lockdowns in most of CEREIT's countries of operations impacted 1Q 2021 gross revenue and NPI , notably reducing carpark income in the mixed - use Central Plaza in Rotterdam , the Netherlands and resulting in some vacancy in certain light industrial / logistics assets in France and Denmark . The disposal of 12 higher - yielding and higher - risk assets in the Netherlands , France and Denmark also affected gross revenue , though this was partially offset by new income from recently completed acquisitions in Italy , Germany , the Czech Republic and Slovakia . 50 Collyer Quay , # 07-02 OUE Bayfront , Singapore 049321 1 Cromwell EREIT Management Pte .
