RREEF, the real estate investment arm of Deutsche Bank, has acquired several commercial and residential assets in Bucharest for €341 million ($538 million). The transaction is the largest real estate acquisition in the Romanian market, according to the firm.
The assets are located in the northern part of Bucharest, in the vicinity of the Pipera area, and are currently under construction with a total buildable area of circa 237,000 square meters.
