Real IS Returns to Spain With Purchase of Terrassa Plaça

12 December 2017 – Eje Prime

Real IS is returning to Spain with the acquisition of an asset that has only just opened. The German investment fund has reached an agreement with the property developer Citygrove to purchase Terrassa Plaça, a retail complex on the outskirts of Barcelona that was opened just over a month ago. It is the first property that the German company has acquired on its return to the country, where it used to invest before the crisis. To this end, the company has recently opened an office in Madrid, with the aim of expanding its asset portfolio in the country, according to a statement issued by the company.

The operation, whose amount has not been disclosed, involves a complex with a gross leasable area (GLA) of 29,466 m2. Inside, Terrassa Plaça is home to brands such as Sprinter, Gifi, Globo and the restaurant chain La Tagliatella, amongst others.

Real IS has a presence in five European countries. For this deal, it has been advised by Savills on the real estate side and by the law firm Monereo Meyer Marinel-Lo, on the legal side.

Terrassa Plaça Retail Park Will Open On 3 November

27 October 2017 – Press Release

Terrassa has a new retail park, in the form of Terrassa Plaça. With a gross leasable area (GLA) of 30,535 m2, the new complex will be officially inaugurated next Friday 3 November. The event will be attended by authorities from the Generalitat de Cataluña, the Town Hall of Terrassa and representatives of the centre’s operators and Citygrove, the property developer.

The new centre is backed by an investment amounting to €30 million, the creation of more than 500 jobs and will house an extensive and varied retail offer: from the distribution of consumer goods and construction materials to fashion and restaurants. Citygrove’s aim with Terrassa Plaça is to cover the growing demand from the local population for these types of services. An entire commercial offer centralised in a single space.

Famous brands

This new project will open its doors with the following brands in situ: Bricomart, Mercadona, Globomoda, Altafit Gym Club, Gifi, Kiwoko, Barimueble, Sprinter, La Tagliatella, Pause&Play, Maxcolchón, Drim and Petrocat. All of them are looking to take an important step in their expansion here and to establish themselves as iconic labels in the minds of consumers. That is especially true in the case of the Italian company Globomoda, which has chosen to open its first store in Cataluña in Terrassa Plaça.

The complex is located on a plot measuring 56,000 m2 delimited by Avenida del Vallès, Calle Navarra, Avenida de las Naciones and Calle Cantabria. Its construction has allowed for improvements to the transport network in the area, with the creation of a pedestrian crossing on Calle Cantabria (…). In addition, the retail park will have an electric vehicle charging station, plus 1,000 parking spaces for cars and 70 for bikes, as well as a new bus route. Within the next few days, a new bike path will be opened between the city centre and the retail park.

Terrassa Plaça is the city’s new commercial offer and represents one of the most ambitious projects from Citygrove, the Anglo-Saxon property developer who has shaped this project. A key player in the real estate sector in Europe, with offices in the UK and Germany, Citygrove backed Terrassa from day one with the aim of turning it into a commercial benchmark project for the city, which was demanding this type of facility.
