First Business Parks
Germany
In March 2015, Crossroads in a joint venture with Palmira, successfully established and rolled out a Germany focused multi-let light industrial platform, First Business Parks ("FBP")
A high quality light industrial portfolio was aggregated through six separate transactions from private sellers which were all sourced off-market. Through these selective acquisitions and hands on asset management, FBP established an industrial portfolio that provides for stable long term-income returns. Crossroads successfully exited the platform investment in September 2018.
