The placement fits within Leasinvest Real Estate’s strategy to arrange financing sources best suited to carry out its investment strategy both through acquisitions and redevelopment of existing core assets. The proceeds will, amongst other things, serve to refinance the EUR 75 million public bond which matured on 9 October 2019 and will contribute to an increase of the average duration of the total debt of Leasinvest Real Estate and a diversification of its financing sources.

“This successful bond placement of EUR 100 million contributes both to the diversification of our debt and a further decrease in funding cost, which leaves Leasinvest Real Estate well prepared and ready for future growth.”
