AEW has acquired a newly built logistics asset in Germany on behalf of its open-ended pan-European core fund.

The manager said the fully let 50,200sqm asset in Hanover-Sehnde was acquired on behalf of the Eurocore fund.

AEW said the asset has “strong sustainability credentials� and is targeting the DGNB ‘GOLD’ environmental label. It also features PV installations, air source heat pumps, e-charging facilities, a partially green façade, and LED light systems, the manager added.

Jeffrey King, fund manager at AEW, said: “Since its launch, Eurocore has so far invested €525m across a mix of logistics, residential and life science assets in seven countries.

�This is our second acquisition in the German logistics space for our Eurocore fund where we continue see value for well-located assets which meet the long-term requirements of occupiers.�

Niklas Räther, executive director of investment in Germany at AEW, said: “Hanover-Sehnde is a high-quality, sustainable logistics asset generating long term income and constitutes an attractive core investment opportunity in one of Germany’s leading markets.

�The fact we were able to source this acquisition off market is also testament to our strong network on the ground.�
