16-1, 2020

Aberdeen Standard Investments has acquired from Equity Estate an office building that is fully let to the Dutch Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) on behalf of an institutional advisory mandate for a German pension fund.

The “Java” office building, located on the Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indië 300-334 in The Hague, has a surface of 13,635 square meters and has 176 parking spaces in the parking garage below. The complex was completed in 2000, has an energy label A and has been leased on a long-term basis to NWO..

Equity Estate acquired the building in 2017 from the Fortress Investment Group. This transaction followed shortly after the acquisition by Fortress of the LIV-portfolio, which was divested by DEKA Immobilien.

In this transaction Aberdeen Standard Investments was commercially advised by JLL, legally by Van Doorne and technically by Savills. Equity Estate was legally advised by Lexence.
