The fund is still in its investment phase, with a total investment capacity of around €380 mln. The asset is located 49 boulevard de Courcelles in the 8th arrondissement of Paris in the immediate vicinity of the Parc Monceau, and was acquired from a private seller. Financial details were not disclosed.

With a total area of approximately 3,000 m2, the post-Haussmannian building consists of seven stories featuring some commercial space as well as a majority of residential areas.

Alexandra Vaquin, head of acquisitions at Stam Europe said: 'The 49 boulevard de Courcelles is a prestigious building located in the heart of the CBD in an upscale residential area.

'The building has a strong value creation potential and perfectly complements the existing portfolio of the Opera fund.'

François Orliaguet, investment manager at Stam Europe, added: 'The property will undergo a major renovation program, including the restructuring of all the residential floors, with the aim of offering high-end apartments adapted to their market.'

The Opera Fund, which was launched in December 2018 and is managed by Stam France IM, is a long-term Core/Core+ real estate fund, investing in multi-family residential assets located mainly in Paris and its quality suburbs.

The transaction was brokered by JLL's residential capital markets team.
