Developer MG Real Estate and Mitiska REIM have both sold retail assets in Belgium.

The former sold two properties, in Ghent and Mechelen, to CBRE Global Investors for €79.6m ($87.9m).

CBRE GI bought the two city-centre properties for a separate account mandate.

The 11,454 sqm Ghent asset is anchored by Primark and H&M.

The 6,795 sqm Mechelen asset is anchored by MediaMarkt and Carrefour.

Jeroen de Grunt, portfolio director for separate accounts in Continental Europe at CBRE GI, said: β€œThese two good-quality, multi-let, income-driven investments are well located in their respective markets in Belgium.

β€œRetail is a target sector for our client across Europe, but we are also investing in logistic assets and offices.”

CBRE GI is, he said, close to completing β€œseveral other acquisitions” in Germany, Hungary, Italy and Denmark.

In Mouscron, privately owned Mitiska REIM has sold a retail park from its First Retail International fund.

The Brussels-based fund manager said it jointly sold the Parc Commercial Les Dauphins asset with partner ABLI to Fidelity Worldwide Investment’s open-ended FIREF Eurozone Select retail park fund.

The Parc Commercial Les Dauphins, a 23,000 sqm modern retail park, is fully let.

The €200m FIREF fund, launched in 2013, is almost fully invested.
