“BEOS Light Industrial Germany I” was launched at the end of 2020 as an open-ended real estate special AIF exclusively for Deka’s institutional clients to offer them specialised access to the corporate real estate market for the first time. Within the scope of this cooperation, which is based on a concept developed specifically for Deka by BEOS, Deka Immobilien assumes the distribution and coordination function and bundles the investors’ interests, while BEOS implements the investment strategy and is responsible for active asset management. The fund is based on the tried-and-tested approach of the four existing BEOS special funds and has a target volume of around EUR 400 million. Mixed-use commercial properties are purchased in economically strong regions with the following types of use: production, service, storage, distribution, laboratory and office. The spaces must have a high capacity for alternative uses. Within a short period of time, a portfolio now comprising 14 properties has been built up, which is broadly diversified in terms of tenant sectors, corporate real estate types and geographically.
