LaSalle Investment Management has acquired the Grade-A office building Luna ArenA in Amsterdam South East for the Encore+ fund, via the acquisition of all the shares in IF Office Fund IV B.V.
PingProperties acquired Luna ArenA in 2010 from investment bank Blackrock, aiming to reposition and lease the asset. In 2012 PingProperties leased two third of the building to TMF, followed by Stryker in 2014. Early this year PingProperties finalized its business plan by extending the Stryker lease.

Luna ArenA is fully leased and serves as (regional) headquarters of TMF Group and US medical company Stryker Corporation. Luna ArenA is situated on walking distance to Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA train station and all facilities and amenities in Amsterdam South-East, one of the main office districts in Amsterdam.
