The site consists of six adjoining buildings, encompassing approximately 10,650sqm of space.

“This acquisition is a prime example of where we see value in today’s hotel market in Europe, with the potential to transform an incredibly well located asset into a fantastic new destination within Rome. We look forward to embarking on this new chapter in Principal’s extensive history in European hotel real estate investment.”
Matteo Cidonio, partner at GWM and senior adviser to the IRESS fund, said: “We are thrilled to enter into a partnership with Principal Real Estate on such an iconic redevelopment which will bring back to life such an iconic building in the most thriving and exciting area of Rome. We believe that the combined expertise of Principal and GWM will provide the most value to the project.”
