QuadReal Property Group has taken advantage of the lower interest rate environment to raised C$350m (€230m) by way of a bond issue, the Canadian company said.

The real estate arm of British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) said the C$350m senior notes of 1.68% maturing 3 March 2025 were issued by BCI QuadReal Realty.
