Altera Vastgoed has acquired off-market local shopping centre Het Stroink in Enschede from WP Retail Invest CV (WPRI).
The centre has recently been renovated by WPRI to create a retail complex which, along with a pharmacy, a medical centre, three primary schools, a nursery and a petrol station, forms the beating heart of the neighbourhood. Het Stroink is the third local shopping centre Altera has added to its Food & Convenience portfolio in recent months, following its earlier acquisitions of Brouwhorst in Helmond and De Vlashoeck in Bergschenhoek.
Jaap van der Bijl, CEO of Altera, said: “With an A++ energy label, Het Stroink will make a strong contribution towards achieving Altera’s sustainability goals. On top of that, the varied mix of national and local retailers plus the community amenities significantly bolster the neighbourhood’s social cohesion and appeal. Our strategy in the convenience segment is aimed at solid growth and development of the portfolio.”
Het Stroink is located in Stroinkslanden, a residential district of Enschede. Together with the neighbouring community amenities, it forms the beating heart of the neighbourhood. The centre has recently been renovated, with sustainability and climate-adaptive measures prioritised alongside rejuvenation of the distinctive architecture.
