Ingra, which declined to comment on the move, apparently wants to get an idea of the market value of the property after the offers it received in direct talks with potential investors disappointed, local news outlet Bankamagazine (www.bankamagazine.hr) reported, quoting unofficial sources.
The owner of the property stands to pocket at least 123.6 million euro in income through 2037, Banka said.
The sports hall has been leased by municipal company Zagrebacki Holding for the next 27 years. The annual lease, payable in equal parts by Zagrebacki Holding and the city of Zagreb, is 7.2 million euro, the news outlet said.
According to Banka, Ingra estimates the investment in the facility, completed in December 2008, at 100 million euro.
The sports hall was built under a private-public partnership arrangement.
Ingra shares, a component of the 24-share blue-chip Crobex index of the Zagreb bourse, were trading up 0.02% at 45.04 kuna ($9.2/6.2 euro) by 1500 GMT on Friday.
