Hines has invested DKK700m (鈧�92.5m) on behalf of its pan-European core real estate fund to buy a 12,753sqm office building in Denmark from pension funds PFA, ATP and PensionDanmark.
The Hines Pan-European Core Fund (HECF) has bought the fully-let Portland Towers building in Copenhagen, in a deal Hines said reflects the fund鈥檚 investment commitment to achieving sustainability and environmental, social, and corporate governance performance across its portfolio.
The BREEAM-certified Portland Towers consists of two former silos, which were converted for multi-tenant office accommodation in 2014.

Across Europe we continue to see opportunities to acquire high-quality office assets in major cities, alongside our diversification towards residential and logistics.鈥�
James Robson, senior managing director and country head for The Nordics at Hines, said the company sees strong 鈥済rowth potential in Denmark, and our Copenhagen team has grown to 16 as we actively review opportunities across office, residential, logistics and mixed-use鈥�.
