The seller of the office building from the 1950s is Isar Kliniken GmbH. Comprehensive revitalization and expansion measures are planned in accordance with a Manage to ESG approach. These will be carried out by the FOM Group as an operating partner, from planning and development to asset management. CDC is pursuing a long-term investment with the purchase.

Arnaud Taverne, CEO of CDC Investissement Immobilier, comments: "We are delighted to be able to carry out this first transaction in Germany. The German market currently offers good investment opportunities due to rising interest rates and tightening financial resources, so we are now taking this opportunity to enter the market. We intend to take advantage of this more favorable environment for long-term full equity investors to expand our German portfolio with further transactions."

Lucas Mignot, Head of International Investments at CDC Investissement Immobilier, commented, "Munich is one of our preferred markets, so we are particularly excited about this first transaction in Germany in the center of the Bavarian capital. We look forward to working with our local partner FOM Real Estate to implement our build-to-core strategy and create a property with state-of-the-art standards that, combined with its central location and ideal transport links, will be a very attractive product on the market."

Prof. Reinhard Walter, Managing Partner of FOM Real Estate Group, says: "The purchase is a great sign in times of a stressed real estate market. Once all revitalization measures have been completed, the building will offer high-quality office space in line with current ESG and New Work standards - and in a prime Munich city center location with outstanding public transport connections. In addition, the purchase is once again an excellent example of the outstanding interaction with our co-shareholder BRAWO Group."

Andreas Stegmann, Head Institutional Clients & Products of the FOM Real Estate Group, adds: "We are very pleased to have gained such an important international investor and to have enabled him to enter the German market.
