Cromwell European REIT acquires 3 EU properties

The REIT purchased freehold properties in Italy and Germany.

Cromwell European Real Estate Investment Trust (CEREIT) acquired three properties in Italy and Germany for $101.52m (€68.3m), which is 12.7% below the aggregate independent valuations.

According to CEREIT’s manager, the real estate investment trust firm entered into three separate sale and purchase agreements and completed the acquisition of three properties, which are all freehold and span 126,752 square metres in total gross lettable area.

The two Italian properties are located in northern Italy, namely, the ABB Industrial Site in Milan, and Bialetti Headquarters in Brescia whilst the German property, namely Saalepark, Jena is located in Jena.

Reacting to this, CEREIT Management Pte. Ltd. CEO Simon Garing said the new economy properties are located in highly liquid estate markets of northern Italy.

“Our experienced, on-the-ground team sourced and secured the investments at a favourable average 6.8% NOI yield 12.7% below independent valuation, with a [blended] weighted average lease expiry of 5.4 years. The properties are fully-leased to global companies including ABB, Bialetti and Abbott Diagnostics,” said Garing.

These acquisitions are part of the $148m (€100m) advanced pipeline it announced in its CEREIT’s fiscal year 2021 results and further build CEREIT’s light industrial and logistics scale in core Western European nations.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
