Global real estate investment manager AEW has acquired an 8,500sqm last-mile distribution warehouse in northern Italy.
The manager has paid an undisclosed amount to buy the asset for its open-ended pan-European core fund, Eurocore, which has now invested 鈧210m across five assets within just three months of the first closing period.
Constructed in 2020, the last-mile distribution warehouse is fully let.
Christina Ofschonka, senior fund manager of Eurocore at AEW, said: 鈥淭o have deployed this level of fund equity in such a short period of time since the launch of Eurocore is a real testament to the strength of the AEW platform, and in particular the deal origination capabilities it provides across Europe.
鈥淲e are building a diverse portfolio of high quality, future proof institutional assets that we believe will provide resilient income underpinned by robust fundamentals and with a strong emphasis on ESG matters, both at property and portfolio level.鈥
Although Eurocore is AEW鈥檚 first open-ended, pan-European fund, the company already manages 鈧28bn of core real estate investments, making up most of its 鈧34bn European portfolio. The global fund manager manages more than 鈧70bn of assets worldwide, and three-quarters of these are core in profile.
