The assets occupy a total gross area of about 54,000m², with three properties located in Milan - Via Venezia Giulia 5A (offices); Via Frua 21/10 (residential, offices); and Corso San Gottardo 1 (residential, offices, retail); and the remaining buildings in Pioltello, Legnano, and Lecco.
The residential assets are of particular importance since they represent one of the most significant deals transacted in Milan in the first part of the year in terms of the amount invested.
