Dutch energy company Essent has bought a real estate portfolio including nine office and business properties. The assets were acquired via a sale-and-leaseback transaction with a joint venture of Utrecht's Top Vastgoed Beleggingen and Stolwijk's Burgland Vastgoed. Financial details of the transaction have not been disclosed.
As Ares completed a €325 mln French logistics acquisition from Blackstone, another French portfolio came onto the market.
