London, Royaume-Uni, September 10, 2020
Amundi Real Estate, on behalf of the funds it manages, acquired “Alcala 544 and 546”, two office buildings with a total area of 30,000 m² in Madrid, from BNP Paribas Immobilier Promotion IE and Therus Invest, as part of a Forward Purchase Agreement.
Designed by the architectural firm, Fenwick Iribarren, “Alcala 544 and 546” will respectively develop rental areas of 10,000 m² and 20,000 m² on 6 levels, surrounded by gardens and terraces. The 2 buildings will be LEED B+C Platinum certified on completion.
The Alcala 546 building is pre-let to a triple-A tenant, a world leader in the cosmetics industry, under a long-term lease. Its completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2022.
Jean-Marc Coly, Chief Executive Officer of Amundi Real Estate, said: "We are delighted to consolidate our presence in Spain with the acquisition of “Alcala 544 and 546”, following a first acquisition in 2018 of the Portico building in Madrid and a second in 2019 with SA65 in Barcelona. This new transaction reflects our strategy of investing in Core/Core+ assets and demonstrates the strong development opportunities we are seeing in the international real estate market.”
Thierry Laroue-Pont, Chairman of the Management Board of BNP PARIBAS REAL ESTATE, added: "BNP Paribas Real Estate is proud to sell these two operations developed in co-promotion with our partner Therus Invest to Amundi Real Estate, a major client of the Group. These LEED Platinum buildings, located close to the underground station, will be a market benchmark for investors going forward."
