The vendor was real estate asset manager AEW Europe, acting on behalf of a French investor.

Deka said the property is being added to the portfolio of its German open-ended property fund Deka-Immobilien Europa.

In a flurry of year-end transactions, Deka also sold the Barcelona headquarters of BBVA, Spain's second-largest bank, to a client of Resource Capital Partners. The financial details of the off-market transaction were not disclosed.

The deal is the second off-market transaction for Resource Capital Partners in a matter of days, following on closely from the acquisition of the Parisian buildings located at 7&9 Avenue de Messine, structured on behalf of Generali/NBIM and Metroinvest.

In Germany, Deka Immobilien purchased a Berlin office and retail complex for around EUR 112 mln. That property will be added to Deka's open-ended Global fund. In Warsaw, Deka completed the acquisition of the InterContinental hotel for EUR 100 mln.

In a fifth deal, Deka acquired the 2175 K Street office building in Washington DC for EUR 66 mln.
