C&W Portugal has been appointed as property manager of 9 office buildings totalling
31,000 sqm at the Quinta da Fonte office park, near Lisbon. The buildings are owned by an IVG
fund, managed by Pramerica Real Estate Investors (Pramerica).
The team involved in the pitch was led by Bruno Silva, associate and head of property
management. C&W Portugal manages a number of other office and retail buildings for both IVG
and Pramerica and this latest win is a vote of confidence in the team’s capabilities.
Quinta da Fonte was the first office park in Greater Lisbon and C&W has a very long
history with this development, with Eric van Leuven (country head) having been involved since
inception of the scheme, in the early 1990s.
For many years C&W were sole leasing agents and successfully concluded negotiations with
the likes of Procter & Gamble, Bristol Meyers Squibb, Merck, General Motors, Ericsson, GE,
Hewlett Packard, Holmes Place Health Clubs, among many others. C&W also sold many of the
completed buildings to local and international funds. The office agency team was appointed last
year to assist Pramerica in the lease renegotiations with tenants and also to market all the
available office spaces.
The Lisbon property and asset management team now has 40 office buildings and 6 shopping
centres under management, totalling over 340,000 sqm, and producing annual rental revenue in
excess of 45 million Euros.
