Deka Immobilien sells shopping centre in Portugal
Frankfurt, 25.10.2024
Deka Immobilien has sold a shopping centre in Portugal from an open-ended real estate institutional fund. The buyer is the Fundo Iberia Shoppings property fund which was recently set up by the Brazilian bank BTG Pactual and Renato Rique (Chairman of Allos S/A). The parties have agreed not to disclose the sale price.
The almost fully let shopping centre has a lettable area of around 12,000 sqm, 460 parking spaces in the underground car park and 366 outdoor parking spaces. It was built in 2005 and extensively revitalised in 2019. The property is located in Torres Novas in a highly visible location on the A23 motorway between Leiria and Santarém in central Portugal, around 75 minutes' drive from Lisbon.
With this transaction, the fund is taking advantage of the increased demand for consolidated shopping centres on the Iberian Peninsula and is disposing of the property in line with its strategy after a holding period of over 17 years.
