The facility will be used to refinance the bridge loan taken out by Redwood and Hochtied when they each acquired a 50% stake in Aurelis, the real estate arm of German rail company Deutsche Bahn for a total of EUR 1.6 bn in September 2007.
Aurelis' portfolio comprises around 1,300 existing properties and plots for development with 23 million m2 of space across Germany. Around 70% of the portfolio is located in Germany's key growth regions, predominantly in prime inner-city locations.
