Real I.S. launches open-ended European real estate fund

Real I.S. has launched a new open-ended portfolio fund for institutional investors, BGV IX Europa.

BGV IX Europa will mainly target core and core-plus investments in the regions of Germany, France and the Netherlands. The investment focus is on office and logistics real estate, supplemented by residential buildings and retail properties centered on local daily-needs shopping.

The fund has an initial planned investment volume of €1.5 billion ($1.8 billion).

“In recent months it has become increasingly clear that the demand for high-quality office properties in good locations has remained stable and even increased, despite the pandemic and people working from home,” said Tobias Kotz, head of client relations and capital funding at Real I.S. AG. “By launching BGV IX Europa, we are offering our investors the opportunity to invest in crisis-resistant and stable asset classes in the euro zone.”
