61 Rue Monceau and Paris
Market Diversify Pembroke’s Global
Portfolio
LONDON
and BOSTON, November 21, 2007
-- Pembroke Real Estate today announced the acquisition of 61
Rue Monceau in Paris. The modern, Class A
office space consists of over 68,000 square feet (6,335 square
meters) and is located in the eighth arrondissement of
Paris’ Central Business
District (CBD). This is the first acquisition in Paris and the third in Europe in the last 14 months for
Pembroke and its affiliates.
Most
recently renovated in 2004, 61 Rue Monceau is located on the
southern side of Parc Monceau and three blocks north of
Boulevard Haussmann and includes 76 adjacent parking spaces.
The property is fully occupied under a long-term lease into
2014.
“The
acquisition of 61 Rue Monceu provides us with an excellent
initial, longterm investment in the Paris
market,” said Nicholas Moldon, director of European
Acquisitions for Pembroke Real Estate. “As Europe’s largest
property market and one of the world’s leading destinations
for foreign real estate investment, the Paris region and,
specifically, the Paris CBD sub-market offer high liquidity
and strong potential for longterm capital appreciation for our
increasingly diverse global portfolio.”
Pembroke
continues to expand its global portfolio by identifying new
properties in Paris, Stockholm, Brussels, London, Boston, Washington, D.C. and Tokyo.
This includes properties such as the International Press
Centre in Brussels, acquired in
October 2006, a seventh London
property, 3 & 10 Finsbury Square,
acquired in August 2006, Tokyo’s Moto Azabu Grand Mansion, acquired in September 2007,
and a second Washington, D.C. property, 1201-1225 New York
Avenue, acquired in September
2006.
The
property at 61 Rue Monceau will be held by an affiliate of
Pembroke. Pembroke Real Estate Advisors acted as advisor in
the transaction.
