Opportunity Fully let office building with reversion potential
Location Jean Jaurès 221, 92100 Boulogne Billancourt (Paris), France
Tenure/built Freehold – co-ownership
Asset description
– Established market in Paris’ Western Crescent
– Good location within Boulogne-Billancourt
– Metro line 9 and Paris ring road nearby
– Built in 1989, flexible T-shaped floor plates (ca. 800 sqm)
– 100%-let to ALTEN, a technology consulting and engineering company until 31 March 2021
WAULT 1.6 years (from 1 October 2019) and 1.6 years to break
Purchase price €37.5m/NIY 5.7%/€5,522 psm
Current value €41.6m as at 30 September 2019
Investment rationale
– Medium duration lease term with a strong covenant tenant present in the building since 1998 – provides time to consider refurbishment
– Conservative rent level (€312/‘office’ sqm/pa) offering a good alternative to La Défense in a more attractive environment
– Area where people live and work; supply constrained
– Boulogne-Billancourt is an established market (1.2m sqm of office stock, the second largest market in the Western Crescent) with average take-up over 100,000 sqm/pa
– Potential to create value and significant reversion potential (c.30%) by redeveloping the property at lease expiry
