Deka Immobilien sells Coty’s Headquarters in Paris

Frankfurt, 26.04.2024

Deka Immobilien has sold the office building Opéra Gramont, located at 14 rue du Quatre Septembre in Paris for approximately 107 million euros. The property was part of the WestInvest ImmoValue portfolio, an investment fund designed for institutional investors, and was acquired by Osae Partners on behalf of one of its discretionary funds.

The property is located in Paris CBD, 400 meters from Place de l’Opéra. It is fully leased to Coty, an international group specializing in perfumes and cosmetics.

The 8,200 square meter office building including 57 parking spaces underwent a complete restructuring in 2001. It consists of two 19th-century buildings and three landscaped courtyards. The property is certified as "Very Good" by the British BREEAM "In Use" label, attesting to the building's environmental performance.

With this sale, the fund management team is optimising the portfolio and achieving a gain on disposal for investors after a holding period of 13 years.
