French asset manager MNK Partners has acquired its first asset for its new pan-European fund MNK Europe+ launched in June.
Built in 2003, the 2,176 m2 office asset in Utrecht, the Netherlands, is fully leased to international audit, tax and consulting firm Mazars.
The asset is rated A in terms of energy performance, it is equipped with windows with automatic photosensitive shutters, electric charging stations in the parking lot, a heating and air conditioning system using a heat pump and an LED lighting system.
MNK Partners plans to further improve the green credentials of the building and is considering installing photovoltaic panels on the roof.
Mansour KhalifΓ©, chairman of MNK Partners, said: βThis first asset is fully in line with MNK Europe+βs strategy of acquiring quality assets and committing to a policy of βgreeningβ its assets. It also demonstrates the ability of MNK Partnersβ teams to diversify the geography of assets, to quickly seize opportunities that can generate a return (not guaranteed) and to favor investments in assets that respect ESG criteria.β
Located in an office district southwest of Utrecht, the building is close to a residential area of 1,500 houses with the necessary amenities that is currently being built.
The MNK Europe+ fund is targeting real estate assets in Western Europe with a βCore+β strategy, diversified and socially responsible, creating a portfolio that will tend towards a βnet zero.β
