    The topic of the Virtual Happy Hour on 2 December 2020 is "DEFYING COVID: closing largest U.S. commercial transaction during the pandemic".
     
    And our special guest will be: JOHANNA FUCHS-BOENISCH, Head of Transaction Management, Direct Real Estate at Deutsche Finance Group
     
    TRANSAMERICA PYRAMID is an iconic office building boasting the skyline of San Francisco, CA. Standing at 260 meters tall, it is the city’s highest structure and the third tallest pyramid in the world.
     
    First opened in 1972, the building features unusual architectural design and technical solutions. Owned by the Dutch insurer Aegon for the past 20 years, it has recently changed hands having been acquired by a joint venture between Deutsche Finance Group and Shvo on behalf of a group of European investors anchored by Bayerische Versorgungskammer (BVK), Germany´s largest pension fund.
     
    What is it like inside? What were the key milestones and challenges facing the stakeholders on both side of the transaction when the entire world lived under lockdown battling the pandemic?
     
    Join us for a Happy Hour on 02/12/2020 at 4pm CET for a virtual tour of Transamerica Pyramid and the story of the deal told first hand by the transaction team followed by Q&A.
