Commerz Real expands real estate commitment in Milan (IT/DE)

Commerz Real just acquired the 'Torre Alfa' office property in Milan for one of its open-end public property funds, hausInvest europa. The company invested approximately €83 mln. in the ten-storey building, raised in 2003. The vendor of the fully let building with a floor-space totalling 26,500 m² is the initiator of closed-end funds Sachsenfonds GmbH.

The property is situated in 'Quartiere Affari' in the San Donato Milanese district, one of Milan's most distinguished office locations. Several prestigious companies, domestic and foreign, have already relocated to this address, including the ENI Group as tenant of several administrative buildings, highlighting the superior market position that this office locale implies. The location benefits not just from a peerless tenancy structure, but also from a superb traffic connectivity and from the close proximity of the airport.

"The Torre Alfa represents our third office property acquisition in Milan this year. Altogether, we committed approximately 270 million euros there in 2007," explains Hans-Joachim Kühl, Member of the Management Board at Commerz Real and in charge of real estate acquisitions. "The market is characterised by stable rents, including future mark-up potential. Milan, being Italy's most important business metropolis, thus plays an important role within the broader context of expanding and further diversifying our European real estate portfolio."
