Bouwfonds Investment Management acquires Glasgow car park
Bouwfonds Investment Management (Bouwfonds IM) announces it has made its first investment for its 4th institutional parking fund in Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city and third in the UK. Mitchell Street car park is located in the city centre of Glasgow, close to the prime retail area and central station. Buchanan Street, UK’s 2nd busiest retail street, after Oxford Street in London, is only yards away.
The multi-storey car park of 220 parking spaces is operated by NCP, the largest car park operator in the UK which was recently taken over by a Japanese consortium of Development Bank of Japan and Park24. Bart Pierik, Managing Director Parking Bouwfonds IM comments: “This is the first acquisition for our Bouwfonds European Real Estate Parking Fund IV and the 47th car park in our portfolio. This car park will further strengthen our high-quality and sustainable portfolio of car park investments across Europe”.
Bas Magielse, Fund Manager Parking Bouwfonds IM adds: “Mitchell Street is very well located and an asset which is expected to provide a very stable and relatively attractive cash return for our investors.”
The fourth institutional Parking Fund is structured as a German Immobilien-Spezialfonds serviced by HANSAINVEST Hanseatische Investment-GmbH (KVG) and will invest in a portfolio of car parks throughout Europe.
