The properties contain 86 apartments, with a total living space of around 8,000 square metres. A kindergarten and 94 underground parking spaces are also included in the purchase. The first of the buildings will be finished in the first half of 2013 and is already 50% let. The other two buildings will be completed in the next two years. The acquisition was purchased from Frankonia Eurobau and the price was agreed in secret.

This acquisition brings the value of the portfolio of this special property fund “Energy efficient living” to €100m. The fund invests specifically in new builds and existing buildings with potential for energy efficient refurbishment.
