C1000 B.V., a Dutch supermarket company, sold six logistics properties located across the Netherlands to W. P. Carey & Co. in a €155 million ($207 million) long term sale leaseback deal according to the Wall Street Journal. W. P. Carey, a global investment management company specializing in long term sale leaseback and build to suit financing, finalized the deal under a long term triple net lease. Reed Smith LLP & NautaDutilh N.V. served as legal advisors to W. P. Carey, while C1000 was represented by Lexence N.V.
