The deal came after Corum confirmed it had found buyers for two mixed-use properties in the Bio Science Park in Leiden. The properties, which have both been owned by the Corum Origin fund since 2016, will be sold for a total of €41 mln, representing a capital gain of €12 mln.

The first building, which was bought at the time for €13 mln, was sold at the end of July for €20 mln. The sale of the second building will take place in December: the property was purchased for €16 mln and will be sold for €21 mln.
