Commenting on the closing, Howard Shore, Executive Chairman, said:
“Brandenburg Realty will build on Puma Brandenburg’s successful track record in the German real estate sector developed over the past decade. With our team on the ground in Berlin, we are perfectly placed and have the in-house expertise to assist the new vehicle in executing its strategy to acquire well located, high quality residential buildings in major German cities. We are particularly delighted to be supporting Brandenburg Realty, together with a number of significant US institutional and family office investors.”
