Pbb also repaid other financiers of the fund as part of the overall transaction. 

The portfolio mainly consists of residential units centred in the Rhine/Main, Mannheim and Nuremberg regions. The portfolio is managed by Heitman, a global real estate investment management firm.

Gerhard Meitinger, head of real estate finance Germany at pbb Deutsche Pfand-briefbank, said: 'Medium- to-long-term financings for residential real estate portfolios lend themselves easily to Pfandbrief funding, thanks to their stable rental income. This allows pbb to quote competitive market terms.'
