CBRE Global Investors and the international acquisition platform of the Cicerone Fund (Cicerone RE Holding BV), managed by Fabrica SGR, have acquired a core office property, the Baker McKenzie House, in Amsterdam from NORDCAPITAL Immobilienfonds Niederlande 7 fund, managed by The Nordcapital Group.

Giovanni Maria Benucci, Fabrica SGR’s CEO, said: “We’re proud to announce a new deal for Cicerone Holding platform investment, coming just a few days after the iconic Brussels Mondrian Building acquisition. The operation is consistent with Cassa Forense’s investment strategy, focused on trophy assets in major European cities. The share of international asset allocation for Cicerone Fund reached 45%, in line with the investor’s geographic diversification needs.”
Following the recent acquisition of the Mondrian Building, this is the seventh investment for the Cicerone RE Holding outside of Italy.
