AEW – Acquisition of Modern Residential Apartment Blocks in Prime Residential Area
We advised AEW, the German real estate investment manager, together with Yester & Morrow on the purchase of a residential portfolio consisting of 90 fully let apartments in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. The properties were acquired from the Bank of Åland Residential Property Fund. The transaction was carried out as two share deals via an open-ended AIF, set up by AEW Invest GmbH in 2019. The fund is tailored to the needs of a German institutional supplementary pension fund investing in pan-European assets. To secure delivery in an ambitious timeframe, AEW’s international advisory team ensured the equal tax treatment of the German AIF with Finnish funds via a binding ruling from the tax authorities. Lars-Henning Pylla, Separate Account Fund Manager at AEW, says: ‘Finland is one of the most competitive economies in the world, underpinned by the strength of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, which is one of the main reasons we took the decision to broaden the mandate’s residential exposure and to invest into this dynamic region.’ AEW is one of the world’s largest real estate asset managers, with EUR 67.6 billion of assets under management as at 31 March 2019.
