Once again, institutional
investors preferred the
traditional sectors, in particular
the office and logistics
markets, which gained capital
for a total value of €1.5 billion,
the equivalent of 69% of total
transactions.
The retail sector delivered
€250 million of investments,
mainly from high street assets
in Milan.
The hospitality market
confirmed its positive trend
by capitalizing almost €130
million, growing 44% compared
to the same quarter 2016.
The remaining deals concerned
other real estate sectors,
including mixed use properties
and nursing homes.
The most significant deal was
signed by Blackstone through
the sale of the Logicor logistic
portfolio, for an estimated
value of €600 million, followed
by four further transactions for
an average size of €150 million
each. With regards to these,
some relevant deals concerned
the purchase of two office
assets by Allianz Real Estate
in Milan CBD Porta Nuova
and the sale of the Luxottica
headquarters in Piazza Cadorna,
also in Milan, which falls into
the investment strategy
recently undertaken by Beni
Stabili SIIQ. A significant
transaction related to the retail
sector was marked by the sale
of the building in Via Verri,
Milan, for €92 million.

Again this quarter, the major
market players were foreign
investors, who contributed to
the volume of investments for
70%, confirming the last three
year trend. The remaining 30%
was generated by domestic
investors, including leading
fund managers, private
investors and banks.
The current uptrend market,
supported by solid signs of
recovery, anticipates that the
volume of investments will be
at least in line with the level
reached in 2016.
At a territorial level the North
West area remained the
macro region with the largest
portion of transactions (45%),
followed by the macro region of
Centre Italy with €240 million,
where the most important deal
was represented by the sale
of a property formerly owned
by Fratelli d’Amico Armatori
and now converted into a hotel
project. The residual 30% of
total transactions, about €635
million worth, was made up of
mixed real estate portfolios
traded throughout the country.
