A subsidiary of Net Zero Properties Group (NZP) has acquired a residential property portfolio comprising 1,010 residential units with a total area of approximately 57,800 square metres. Legal advice was provided by the law firm Clifford Chance. The portfolio is distributed across seven clusters in Northern Germany, enabling a targeted strengthening of the regional market presence.
This acquisition serves to strategically expand NZP's German residential property platform and intensifies the density of its portfolio in the company's already active regional sub-markets. This consolidates NZP's position in key regions of Northern Germany.
Portfolio Expansion and Financing Framework
The completion of the transaction is expected in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary conditions. Upon closing, NZP's entire Germany-wide portfolio will comprise more than 15,400 residential units. The current annual net rental income from the newly acquired portfolio amounts to over EUR 77 million.
NZP is a portfolio company of ZAGA Capital Partners, a London-based real estate investor. In March 2026, ZAGA successfully completed the first closing of its 'ZAGA German Real Asset Opportunities II Fund', raising equity commitments of approximately EUR 500 million. This financial strength underscores ZAGA Capital Partners' long-term investment strategy in the German real estate market.
Legal Support for the Transaction
The Clifford Chance team that advised the NZP subsidiary on this acquisition was led by Partner Dennis Blechinger from the Real Estate sector in Munich, and by Partner Dr. Dominik Engl, responsible for tax law matters in Frankfurt. The expertise of both areas was crucial for the structuring and completion of the transaction.
