The Brazilian bank BTG Pactual, in partnership with Nadlan, has completed the acquisition of Tavira Grand Plaza shopping center through the Ibéria Shoppings Fund I, an investment vehicle created with the support of Optimal for the retail sector in Portugal and Spain.
Optimal Investments acted as the exclusive financial advisor for the buy-side, a mandate that included support in structuring the investment vehicle and the acquisition financing. With this transaction, Optimal Investments reinforces its market position as an independent entity providing financial advisory services within private equity and real estate fields. This was the first investment of the fund, sized at €100m, and is now looking for additional targets in Portugal and Spain in the shopping center space.
