90 North Real Estate Partners has bought the global headquarters of construction firm Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC) in Leiden, the Netherlands, for €70m (£54m).

The Mayfair-based firm, which invests on behalf of individuals in the Middle East, acquired the newly constructed 222,000 sq ft office building from a fund managed by Standard Life Investments.

HMC, a contractor in the offshore oil and gas industry, has fully let the building on a 20-year lease.

Cherine Aboulzelof, Partner and Head of Continental Europe at 90 North, called the Netherlands an “attractive market with a strategic location in Europe”.

Dubai-based Arzan Wealth partnered with 90 North on the acquisition and ING Bank financed the deal.
