Europa Capital and Keystone Investment Management have acquired a portfolio of office and residential assets within the Copenhagen suburb of Valby, for €178 million. The investment is made up of two separate transactions forward-purchased from De Forenede Ejendomssekskabe (“DFE”). The portfolio includes four residential blocks comprising 318 units, and six office buildings comprising 24,989 sq. metres that have largely been refurbished to a high quality with occupancy currently of 81%. These assets are located adjacent to Europa Fund IV’s residential investment, which comprises 357 units.
Hugo Black of Europa Capital said, “We are pleased to have completed our second transaction in Valby, Copenhagen, following Europa’s acquisition of 357 of residential units in 2015. The Valby residential accommodation will help towards alleviating the supply constraint pressures in the capital city, which have been created by a growing populous”. The acquisition was carried out in joint venture with Keystone Investment management.
