The US and German asset management groups acquired the three properties from Jersey-registered Hermes Real Estate Investment Management Limited in July. The acquisition comprises Chineham Park in Basingstoke, Birchwood Park in Warrington and the 2 million sq ft Hillington Park in Glasgow, which is Scotland’s largest business park with over 300 companies and 3,500 employees on site.
Carey Olsen partner James Mulholland was assisted by senior associates Chris Griffin and Claire Le Quesne and the team worked alongside international law firms Reed Smith LLP and Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP.
Mr Mulholland said: “Our real estate private equity activity continues to build with several high-profile deals completing as the summer draws to a close and further instructions keeping the team very busy. This was a complex and fast-paced acquisition, which gave us an opportunity to showcase our agility and the breadth of our expertise in this area.”
