“CORESTATE Group, a specialist private equity real estate investor based in Zug/Switzerland, with partner offices in Frankfurt, London and Luxembourg, has today announced that it has acquired Rund Carré from HSBC Trinkaus Real Estate GmbH. The recently developed office and retail asset in Hanover was purchased for €25.5 million, representing an initial yield of 7.9%, which compares favourably to long-term yield trends.
Financing for the asset has been provided by a renowned German bank on competitive terms.
Rund Carré comprises a fully-let, 14,000 sq m mixed-use scheme, which was completed in 2006. It provides 8,377 sq m of office accommodation long let to large German corporates.
