Aberdeen Property Investors (Aberdeen) announces that the Aberdeen European Shopping Property Fund has acquired the shopping centre Löhcenter in Viersen, Germany from REDEVCO.

It is fully let with well-known brands such as Kaiser’s, Netto and Deichmann.
Aberdeen was advised by the local transaction team of Aberdeen Immobilien KAG (formally DEGI Deutsche Gesellschaft für Immobilienfonds mbH). From sourcing a suitable product until closing, Aberdeen Immobilien KAG will accompany the transaction process in Germany for Aberdeen Pan-European funds and is currently seeking further interesting investment opportunities.

The fund continues to investigate further deals in Germany.

This was a rare opportunity to buy a shopping center at an attractive yield level, hereby combining both cash return and long term capital growth. We are still looking for additional retail investment opportunities”.
