Drooms, the independent provider of secure cloud solutions, has supported the transaction involving a logistics real estate asset in Augsburg between LEDVANCE GmbH (LEDVANCE) and BEOS AG (BEOS) by providing a digital data room solution.
London, 19 July 2019 – The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price of the property, which is situated on the Lechhausen business park, which covers an area of approximately 51,000m². The property includes two divisible logistics buildings with a surface area of more than 33,000m² and approximately 1,200m² of office space. Parts of the land can also be used for new construction projects. LEDVANCE, a lighting company and spin-off from OSRAM established in 2016, previously used the land as warehousing space. When the factory in Augsburg was closed, the company took the decision to sell this property. The transfer to BEOS as representative proprietor and asset manager will take place in autumn 2019.
Henning Hempel, Global Head of Real Estate at LEDVANCE, commented: “In transactions, speed is essential. With Drooms as a partner for the digital transaction data room, we were able to exchange data with BEOS quickly and easily, before successfully completing the deal.”
Alexandre Grellier, co-founder and CEO of Drooms, commented: “We are delighted to have been able to support this transaction with Drooms NXG. The high display speed of documents on our platform enables the fastest possible exchange between several participants. The comprehensive and intensive Q&A process is also carried out and recorded immediately in the data room.”
