has acquired a 10,404sqm office building in Nootdorp, near The Hague, on behalf of one of its funds.
The recently developed property is fully let on a 20-year triple-net lease to Fugro, a global provider of geo-data and geoscience services, and will serve as its new office headquarters and research and development facility.
Clarion said the building is 鈥渉ighly sustainable鈥� and will be net energy positive, with features including thermal energy storage connections, heat pumps and PV installations on the fa莽ade and roof. It also has a specialist rainwater collection and storage system designed by Fugro, which incorporates infiltration in deep soil layers and allows reuse of the water.
Max Rooney, director at Clarion Partners Europe, said: 鈥淭his is a best-in-class asset with excellent sustainability credentials leased to a strong covenant, in a market where office vacancy levels are at a 10-year low. We continue to see corporates exploring sale-leasebacks, which is presenting a compelling opportunity for investors seeking stable, inflation-resilient income in today鈥檚 fragmented macroeconomic environment.鈥�
Thorben Schaefer, managing director at Clarion Partners Europe, added: 鈥淗aving been one of the first movers in the European sale-leaseback sector, we have the team, as well as available firepower, to execute on our significant near-term acquisition pipeline.鈥�
Clarion Partners Europe was advised by Savills, Loyens & Loeff, and Arcadis. Fugro was advised by JLL and CMS.
