The seven-story property, named ‘Südetagen’, comprises 10,055 sqm of lettable floor space along with an underground car park. The asset has been acquired fully let with a local public administration accounting for the majority of rental income.

Südetagen occupies a prominent corner position in close proximity of excellent transport infrastructure. The asset was acquired from Kriton Immobilien LLC, which managed the asset on behalf of Litos Immobilien PLC, a majority holding of Provinzial Rheinland Versicherungen.
The second property is located in Wiesbaden, the capital of Hesse, c. 30 km west of Frankfurt. The recently refurbished asset offers 3,281 sqm of office space spread over six floors along with 80 parking spaces and is fully occupied by a German government tenant. The office is centrally located on Viktoriastr, a short walk from Wiesbaden’s mainline train station. Wiesbaden is an established hub for German public authorities while the city also attracts a high volume of international companies, with many choosing it as their European headquarters.
