The 3,467 sqm building at Nygaardsvej 27 is located in the heart of this upscale residential district and is a high quality property with attractive fit out and excellent amenities. The fully leased property, constructed in 2017, was acquired in an off market transaction.
EDIF, which held its first close of €350 million in November, is aimed at international investors and is focused on creating stable and diversified income through investments in the logistics, residential and office sectors. The Fund aims to capitalise on the structural changes of innovation and urbanisation, targeting strong economies in Western Europe, with a focus on France, Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.
The initial seed portfolio comprised a mix of logistics, residential and
office investments and has outperformed its market indices to date, is
over 98% occupied and recorded 99.5% rent collection in 2020,
demonstrating its resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
With accretive leverage, the Fund has capital remaining to deploy into
further acquisitions to diversify the portfolio. This latest Copenhagen
acquisition takes the residential sector exposure to over 30%. Two
thirds of the fund income is in the logistics
and living sectors, which remain the current focus of its investment
strategy.
