All 24 are fully leased to Lidl through its local operating companies on long-term leases linked to consumer price indexes, IREI reported. That gives PATRIZIA rental income that moves with inflation.
"Food retail continues to offer attractive investment opportunities where the underlying real estate and operator strength support durable income," said Christie Wright, co-head of investment management at PATRIZIA.
PATRIZIA manages about €4.2 billion ($4.9 billion) in retail assets across Europe. The firm said the purchase builds on an existing relationship with Lidl and more than 20 years of investing in European food retail.
