16 februari 2015
Source: Propertyweek | Deutsche Hypothekenbank, ING Real Estate Finance and pbb Deutsche Pfandbriefbank have agreed to provide financing of €331m to fund Patrizia’s €578m acquisition of 137 apartment blocks in Holland. The properties are located in the central and southern provinces of the Netherlands and comprise a total of about 5,500 individual flats.
The three consortium partners will commit one third each to the deal, which they said was the largest debt deal in the Dutch real estate market of the past 12 months.
“We are delighted to be providing the financing, together with ING and pbb, for this remarkable deal. All consortium partners are therefore able to build further on their successful relationship with Patrizia,” said Andreas Pohl, speaker of the Board of Managing Directors for Deutsche Hypo, speaking on behalf of the consortium.
“The Dutch residential market has proved to be extremely stable for a number of years now. Thanks to birth surplus and immigration, the prognosis for population growth stands out positively against those of other EU states. Accordingly, we expect to see sustained high demand for residential space in the Netherlands.”
Deutsche Hypo is acting as mandated lead arranger, agent and bookrunner, ING Real Estate Finance as mandated lead arranger; and pbb as co-arranger.
