Slate Asset Management has agreed to acquire six high-performing essential real estate properties across Germany, collectively valued at over €100 million.
The acquisitions, structured through three individual transactions, are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to standard conditions.
The newly acquired portfolio comprises modern assets located in densely populated German submarkets with strong purchasing power. All properties are leased under long-term, index-linked agreements to leading grocery and everyday goods distributors, including Schwarz Group, Aldi, REWE Group, and Edeka Group—partners with whom Slate has established longstanding relationships.
Sven Vollenbruch, Managing Director at Slate, commented: “We are pleased to be further increasing our exposure to Germany’s essential real estate sector with this portfolio of high-quality, exceptionally located properties. We believe the basis of these acquisitions will allow us to create meaningful value for our investors. Our activity in Europe has been highly robust this year, and our pipeline is as full as it has been in several years. We look forward to executing a number of additional transactions before year-end.”
Slate has maintained a dedicated focus on essential real estate, targeting assets vital to daily life, including grocery stores, necessity-based retail centres, and the logistics infrastructure supporting food and non-discretionary goods distribution.
Since entering the European market in 2016, Slate has transacted on more than 1,000 commercial properties across eight countries. Year-to-date, the Firm’s total investment in European essential real estate has surpassed €800 million.
Advisors on these transactions included Goodwin Procter, JLL, REDEFINE Group, KPMG, Gleeds, Verifort Capital, and agradblue.
