CF, Boreal Acquire Italian Industrial Portfolio

A joint-venture between Canadian investor Cadillac Fairview and Europe’s Boreal Investment Management has completed the purchase of a two-million-square-foot industrial real estate portfolio in Italy.

Located primarily in Greater Milan, the six-property portfolio includes four warehouses and two development sites.

Toronto-based CF and London-headquartered Borealis purchased the assets from funds sponsored by New York-based investment giant Blackstone and Milan-based Kryalos SGR. The deal is the first in Italy for the CF-Boreal JV, which owns other European properties.

CF is the real estate investment arm of the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan, one of Canada’s largest institutional investors. Boreal focuses its investments on logistics assets.
