Ladbergen located in Germany, equidistant from Osnabruck and Muster was acquired for €5.1 million reflecting a net initial yield of 8.22% with an attractive reversion to 9.44%. The property let to 17 tenants and will provide HBI with a diverse income stream with excellent asset management potential.

Located in northern Germany, Hamburg-Billbrook was acquired for about €3 million reflecting a net initial yield of 8.32%. The asset is located in one of Hamburg's most important industrial areas.

The four French assets were acquired as part of a portfolio and are located in Fosse-Blois, Chartres (two assets) and Saint Nazaire. The assets were acquired for €25 million reflecting an attractive net initial yield of 7.76% with significant upside potential.
