Dr. Wieselhuber & Partner (W&P) supported the pro-beam group as transaction advisor in the sale and subsequent long-term lease-back of a production property in Germany. This transaction was part of the pro-beam group's financing strategy for corporate growth. The property's acquirer is an internationally operating real estate fund that already holds several light industrial properties in Germany in its portfolio.
Led by Adam Olek, a W&P Real Estate expert, the process was conducted as a structured bidding competition. W&P advised the pro-beam group not only on managing the sales process but also on the commercial structuring of the long-term lease agreement. Nicolas von Wolff, Managing Director of the pro-beam group, stated that thanks to the professional support of the W&P team and their experience in real estate transactions, the project was implemented precisely and on schedule, thereby achieving a strategically significant milestone for pro-beam.
Criteria for successful real estate transactions
The successful completion of this process illustrates the criteria currently in focus for real estate investors. Adam Olek explained that a convincing asset and a strong tenant with a clear and comprehensible corporate strategy are the cornerstones in the current market environment. This underlines the importance of a sound corporate positioning for potential investors.
Christian Groschupp, Partner Real Estate at W&P, added that the close integration of the sales process with the structuring of the long-term lease agreement was crucial for a successful closing. This integrated approach enabled the implementation of a viable solution for all parties involved. The focus was on creating a win-win situation that met both the seller's financing needs and the buyer's investment criteria.
