Frankfurt am Main, 26 May 2026 – Peakside Capital Advisors AG (Peakside) has acquired a portfolio of eight local retail properties (food-anchored retail) with a total lettable area of around 39,000 sqm for their PREF IV fund. The portfolio was bought from Deutsche Konsum Real Estate AG. The properties are located throughout Germany, with a focus on Saxony, Lower Saxony and Bavaria.
The portfolio is almost fully let. Food retailer EDEKA is the anchor tenant in six properties, alongside Kaufland and Netto.
With this transaction, Peakside increases the number of its food retail properties to a total of 35 assets and thus further expands its activities regarding its food retail strategy. Asset management of the properties will be handled by Food Anchor Management GmbH – a joint venture between Peakside and Stoke Park Capital established in March this year.
Boris Schran, Managing Partner at Peakside, says: “By acquiring this portfolio we are further pursuing our strategy in the food retail sector. We continue to see attractive investment opportunities in this market environment and will expand our activities accordingly.”
Simon Lutz, Partner at Peakside, adds: “The food-anchored retail property segment offers attractive opportunities with a compelling risk-return profile. Thanks to our local market knowledge and our active asset management approach, we are able to identify and realise value-creation potential in a targeted manner. At the same time, we benefit from stable cash flows and long-term leases with creditworthy anchor tenants.”
