Mirabaud Asset Management completes acquisition of state-of-the-art office campus in Washington D.C. region

Geneva, 17 March 2023 – Mirabaud Asset Management (Mirabaud) has structured the acquisition of a mission-critical office campus for one of the world’s leading e-commerce and technology companies. The location, directly across from the Washington D.C.’s main international airport, serves the group’s global data center and security operations. This acquisition brings the value of Mirabaud’s US real estate portfolio to almost $700 million.

South Lake, a 25,000 sq. meter complex in Herndon, Virginia, serves a mission-critical function for the tenant’s most profitable business segment, Cloud Computing, and has been the subject of significant tenant investment. The property directly supports the company’s massive regional and global data center network. The tenant has invested over $35 billion on its cloud computing infrastructure over the last decade in Northern Virginia with multiple data centers currently under development. The asset includes restricted-access secure floors, a structured parking garage, and has the ability to house over 1,000 employees.

Vaqar Zuberi, Senior Vice President at Mirabaud Asset Management commented, “The acquisition of South Lake continues Mirabaud’s strategy to identify, structure, acquire, and manage high-quality, mission-critical office and industrial assets in dynamic and growing geographic regions in the United States. Similar to Mirabaud’s previous acquisitions, South Lake has in place a long-term investment grade tenant who has demonstrated a strong commitment to the building through considerable investment in the building’s physical and security infrastructure. The building serves the tenant’s most profitable and growing business segment and is located in the dynamic Northern Virginia / Dulles Corridor, one of the strongest technology investment markets in the United States.”

Mirabaud continues to expand its established real estate portfolio by acquiring single-tenant office and logistics assets in key markets across the United States and since 2019 has advised on the acquisition of seven assets.
