LAR sells Eloy Gonzalo office building to Swiss Life

Advised by JLL & Knight Frank, Lar España Real Estate SOCIMI has sold the last office building in its portfolio to Swiss Life, thus becoming a purely retail focused REIT.

The property, Eloy Gonzalo 27, has a GLA of 6,295m² set across eight floors of which 4,875m² are offices. Cushman & Wakefield had previously let the property in its entirety to WeWork and acted as advisor to the buyer, a fund managed by Swiss Life Asset Managers.

According to buy-side advisors Cushman & Wakefield «Eloy Gonzalo 27 has undergone an important transformation process to become an example of a new way of working that is dominating the market. The lease of the entire property to WeWork in addition to its excellent location, design and visibility, have turned it into a first-class asset».

LAR had bought the building in January 2014 for €12.7 million euros, in one of its first acquisitions following its debut on the Spanish stock exchange in March of the same year. It has now traded for €40 million, according to a group statement shared National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) representing a capital gain of 214%.
