Sienna’s IM Real Estate team advises in the acquisition of the fine grain portfolio in Ireland

Sienna Investment Managers ‘(Sienna IM) Real Estate team has advised SCPI Transitions Europe, managed by Arkéa REIM, on the acquisition of an office portfolio in Ireland. The portfolio is comprised of two assets, one in the Waterside Campus in Citywest, Dublin, and the other in the Parkmore East Business Park in Galway, together making up roughly 6,400 sqm of lettable floor area.  

Both assets are fully let, to two tenants in Dublin and three in Galway, across a number of industries including MedTech and software. Located in two established business parks, in proximity to numerous public transport and road access routes, the properties benefit from a strong connection to both Dublin and Galway city centres. Parkmore boasts a BER A3 rating and was delivered in 2018 to a LEED gold standard. Waterside has a planned pathway to increase its BER rating through LED lighting and an improved air conditioning system.  

Arthur Debaere, Head of Acquisitions Ireland – Real Estate, says of the deal, “We are delighted to close our 3rd and 4th acquisitions in Ireland on behalf of Transitions Europe, further deepening both our position in the Irish market and our successful relationship with Arkea REIM.” 

SCPI Transitions Europe / Arkéa REIM was further advised by A&L Goodbody (legal) and Logical, Fusion4Quality, and Byrne (technical and ESG). The seller Fine Grain was advised by Avison Young (commercial) and Dillon Eustace (legal).
