Patrizia said the 60,000sqm portfolio, which includes 33 commercial units and around 370 parking spaces, is spread across 19 properties in six locations.
The acquisition was made on behalf of institutional investors for a real estate fund managed by Patrizia.
The German company said majority of the properties are located in Bavaria and Berlin, adding that the remaining are situated in Amberg, Oberursel, Stuttgart, Kitzingen and Deggendorf.
Patrizia鈥檚 head of acquisitions residential, Christoph Langmack, said the portfolio, with its stable macro and micro-locations, represents an 鈥渆conomically sound鈥� acquisition for investors.
The bulk of the properties were built in the 1950s and 1960s. A number of the buildings have already been modernised; Patrizia will invest in a renovation and modernisation scheme in order to improve the quality of the remaining apartments.
