The authors prove that if \(X\) is a symmetric space of noncompact type and \(\Gamma\) is a finitely generated group quasi-isometric to the product \(\mathbb{E}^k\times X\), then there is an exact sequence \[ 1\to H\to\Gamma\to L\to 1, \] where \(H\) contains a finite index copy of \(\mathbb{Z}^k\) and \(L\) is a uniform lattice in the isometry group of \(X\).
