About EUR 23 bn was invested in France in the first nine months of 2007, compared to EUR 20 bn in the year-earlier period, property consultant Atisreal said in its latest research report published on Tuesday. Far from weakening, the investment market remained buoyant in Q3 with about EUR 8 bn invested, up 18% on the 2006 figure, the firm said.
As Ares completed a €325 mln French logistics acquisition from Blackstone, another French portfolio came onto the market.
