Young Leaders’ Virtual Happy Hour: Defying COVID: closing largest U.S. commercial transaction during the pandemic

The topic of Virtual Happy Hour on 2 December 2020 was “Defying COVID: closing largest U.S. commercial transaction during the pandemic” and the special guest was 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.

YL Virtual Happy Hour is a series of informal Zoom meetings for ULI Young Leaders. We meet virtually at 4 pm once every 4-6 weeks in an informal atmosphere to re-connect with familiar friends and make new ULI connections. Each meeting has a special guest speaker and a different topic. It’s FREE and exclusive to ULI Young Leader members.
