“The food sector has always been a highly desirable and liquid asset class in the US. And the stable performance during the Corona pandemic has added to investor interest.

“The Florida purchase serves to diversify our portfolio and thus hedge against future crises. We want to further expand our overseas real estate portfolio,” adds Henrike Waldburg, Head of Investment Management Global at Union Investment.
