Dentons advises DW Real Estate on acquisition of residential portfolio in the Netherlands

June 14, 2021

Düsseldorf/Amsterdam-Global law firm Dentons has advised DW Real Estate ('DWRE') on the acquisition of a portfolio of residential properties and commercial units in the Netherlands. DWRE is acquiring the portfolio in an off-market transaction for a German professional pension fund, expanding its managed portfolio to approximately 500 apartments. The seller is a fund managed by Rubens Capital Partners.

The portfolio, consisting of four apartment complexes, is located in the Dutch provinces of North Brabant and Limburg. The properties, which were built in the early 1980s, are located in established neighborhoods and are almost fully rented. A total of 44 apartments, 38 single-family homes and seven commercial units are part of the transaction.

DWRE is an owner-managed real estate company which focuses on investment and asset management. The company invests primarily in German and Dutch commercial and residential real estate. Investment partners include German family offices and institutional investors (such as pension funds and insurance companies) as well as Anglo-Saxon investment managers and funds.

A cross-border Dentons team from Germany and the Netherlands advised DWRE on the transaction. Dr. Dominik Thomer (Düsseldorf) and Pieter van Delden (Amsterdam) co-led the transaction.
