Advised by Catella Asset Management, Tikehau group has acquired from private investors a real estate portfolio comprising 35 retail assets in France with a net area of more than 200,000 sqm. The transaction amounts to more than 240 million euros.

“This transaction represents a wonderful opportunity to invest in a diversified portfolio generating secured cash flows, which is part of our continued strategic vision of retail assets.
