AXA IM Alts, a global leader in alternative investments with €186 billion of assets under management1 , announces the completion of the sale of a diversified real estate portfolio for four properties for approximately €300 million to a joint venture between IBA Capital Partners and Batipart Europe. The transaction was executed through a Spanish real estate company managed by AXA IM Alts of behalf of clients. The assets are in prime strategic locations across key Spanish regions and comprise two office properties, a logistics facility and a plot of industrial development land, all in areas with strong occupier demand.
The flagship asset in the portfolio is a landmark 60,000 sqm office complex located at Ramírez de Prado 5 in Madrid and its sale represents one of the most significant office deals in Spain in recent years. It is anchored by several investment grade tenants, including the Region and City Council of Madrid. The second office property is located in Ramirez de Arellano, Madrid, with 6,000 sqm of office space.
The logistics operating asset, comprising more than 35,000 sqm, is located in Barcelona, one of Europe’s key logistics hubs with direct access to major Mediterranean and Asian trade routes. The portfolio also includes a plot of industrial land also located in Barcelona with strong development potential.
John O’Driscoll, Global Co-Head Real Estate at AXA IM Alts, commented: “This transaction is the result of effective coordination and execution across a complex process, shaped by both the scale of the deal and wider market dynamics. Throughout our long-term ownership of the portfolio, the assets performed well, with our asset management teams driving performance and the sale culminating a strong result for our clients. This disposal aligns with AXA IM Alts’ broader strategy of actively managing and divesting assets where value has been realised, allowing us to redeploy capital into new opportunities with longer term growth potential in our conviction asset classes.”
