Partners Group and Equity Estate recapitalize the Queristics Investment portfolio

22-1, 2018

Queristics Investment is a sharia compliant joint venture founded in 2005 by Equity Estate and an investor from the Middle East. The portfolio was constructed between 2006 and 2010 and consists of six buildings, located in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. The German buildings, located in Kassel, are two logistics buildings let to Winkler and Technoform, comprising in total 20,000 sqm. The Belgian building, located in Willebroek, is a logistics building let to Distrilog of almost 35,000 sqm. The Dutch buildings are in Zwolle, an office let to EY of 5,500 sqm, and in Oss, two warehouses let to Brabant Alucast of 26,500 sqm in total. The value of the portfolio is slightly over EUR 56 million.

In the recapitalization, the Middle Eastern investor was bought out, the senior lender was repaid, and the sharia compliant structure has been separated from the portfolio. In the coming months the sharia structure will be disbanded by Equity Estate.

Equity Estate continues to be investor and asset manager in the Queristics Investment portfolio. Partners Group participated in the recapitalization on behalf of its clients.
