The asset is a 1990s landmark office building in Paris’ central business district, in front of the city’s former stock exchange, and is the result of a full restructuring in 1992 by famous architect, Ory. It is made up of 8,275 sqm spanning over seven upper floors and three basement levels. It offers large, functional floor plates, a rarity for the area, and includes a rooftop, terraces and a 600 sqm ground floor central patio. The asset has an EPC C rating and is connected to the urban heating network CPCU, significantly reducing carbon emissions.

Located in the French capital’s dynamic office district alongside the headquarters of a number of finance, tech, media, and luxury firms.

Guillaume Bieganski, Managing Director and Country Head France at Barings Real Estate, said: “The market continues to see strong demand for modern, flexible and ESG-compliant office space in central Paris. Combined with limited Grade A stock, this has driven continued rental growth. Offices in city centre locations with the ability to generate additional value remain highly attractive to us, and we will continue to pursue similar opportunities going forward.”

Gunther Deutsch, Managing Director and Head of Real Estate Transactions Europe at Barings Real Estate, said: “This acquisition marks the largest office acquisition Barings has executed in the past five years and reinforces our commitment to offices in prime European city centres, whether existing assets with upside potential or as a partner for entirely new developments. The office sector, together with the living and logistics sectors, remains a key area of focus for us. We will continue to look for similar acquisitions in the Nordics, the Netherlands, Germany, UK, Italy, France and Spain throughout the year on behalf of our core, core+ and Value add capital sources.”
