Mobion Group and its partners have reached an important investment milestone with the off-market acquisition of a leading retail portfolio from renowned real estate investor PATRIZIA.
The acquired portfolio consists of a series of ten high-quality retail units located in the A1 locations of nine vibrant shopping cities in the Netherlands: Alkmaar, Arnhem, Breda, 's-Hertogenbosch, Groningen, Hilversum, Leiden, Tilburg, and Zwolle. These cities were carefully selected based on their strong consumer appeal and potential for long-term growth, making them ideal locations for both shoppers and investors.
The well-positioned properties are currently rented to a mix of national and international retailers, including clothing brands like Bershka, Bestseller, jeans brand Levi’s, telecommunications giant KPN, lingerie retailer Calzedonia, and drugstore chain Etos. These brands contribute to a stable and diversified income stream. Mobion has focused on function mixing in mixed-use environments, with the potential to expand the current number of homes above shops with new, energy-efficient apartments and studio apartments.
This purchase marks the ambitious plans of the buyer to initiate a robust and growth-oriented retail portfolio, intended to generate an attractive and sustainable return. By investing in the best retail locations, Mobion aims to compile a portfolio that is not only resilient against economic fluctuations but also thrives in an evolving market.
The buyer in this transaction was assisted by retail investment broker Retail Capital, notary office TaylorWessing, and construction consultant MIBA Bouwmanagement BV. The financial partner is ING Real Estate Finance.
The selling party PATRIZIA was advised by Brickstone, specialists in commercial retail real estate. The seller was legally assisted by Loyens & Loeff. This professional advice ensured a smooth transaction, which has now taken place.
With the realization of this off-market transaction, Mobion and its partners firmly establish themselves as a significant player in the retail real estate market. With their new acquisition, the buyer is well-positioned for future growth and success in the retail sector.
