With a total rentable area of about 102,000 sqm and 552 parking spaces and a book value of approx. EUR 237 million (CA Immo share), CA Immo is selling its largest single investment.
The transaction will be closed subject to standard conditions precedent and is expected to take place early in the first quarter of 2018.
