These are properties of two real estate funds of the German retail platform of Nuveen Real Estate, one of the largest real estate investment managers in the world.

The mandate, which was awarded as of January 1, 2020, covers the commercial and technical property management for a total leasable area of 106,190 square meters. MEC is also responsible for leasing management for the respective locations.

The portfolio also includes three locations of the investment and asset manager KGAL, acquired in December 2019, with a total of around 40,000 square meters of rental space, as well as other portfolio properties.
