A Dubai-based advisory firm regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, Arzan Wealth has announced that it has advised its client on the sale of an office building in Leiden, The Netherlands.

The sold property is a high-quality office building comprising 20,616 sq.m. of office accommodation over 10 floors with 586 car park spaces and is built according to BREEAM “Excellent” standards and located in Leiden Central Business District, The Netherlands. The property serves as the Global Headquarters of a leading marine contractor for offshore oil & gas fields, Heerema Marine Contractors.

The Heerema asset was acquired in mid-2016 as part of Arzan Wealth’s yielding asset platform with an objective of producing an average annual yield of 8 per cent to investors, and providing both predictable income and protection of capital. Arzan Wealth acted as the Sub Strategic Advisor on the exit of this investment that has generated favorable returns for the investors during the five-year holding period. CEO of Arzan Wealth Muhannad Abulhasan said: “In light of the turbulence created by the COVID-19 public health crisis and the increased volatility in oil prices, we are pleased that we have been able to advise on the sale of the Heerema asset and meet our primary objective of protecting our investors’ capital after having delivered an attractive stream of monthly income over the past 5 years. Achieving this result despite the global disruption from the pandemic is a sign to our investors that we remain dedicated to working hard on their behalf at all times, to reduce risks and maximize returns.  This sale takes Arzan Wealth’s track record to fourteen exits on behalf of our investors, and we look forward to being able to fulfill the investors’ long-term investment objectives with new opportunities”.
