The German Real Estate Advisory Team (GREAT), based in Frankfurt, advised Corestate exclusively on the transaction.
Thomas Landschreiber, chief operating officer of Corestate, said: 'Beginning in the second half of 2010, we have seen a significant and continued increase in demand for German residential assets. Driven by the speed of Germany’s economic recovery and its stable outlook, which points to secure investment returns over the medium term, this improvement in sentiment has led to Germany overtaking the UK as the most favoured investment location in Europe for unlisted real estate funds.'
