"This property represents a classic repositioning opportunity which fits perfectly into our Dutch strategy for CCP II" said Ric Lewis, the Fund's Senior Portfolio Manager and Chief Executive Officer of Curzon."We acquired for just over 40 mln. which shows that with a good local partner, values can still be found in this market. The AKRON Group, who will act as joint venture and operating partner, continues to help us to further build on our presence and portfolio in the Dutch markets," added Rob Reiskin,Managing Director and Head of Investments for Curzon.
"We are very pleased to have the Churchill tower in our portfolio.
