Affine will acquire 5,000 sqm of office space in the Lilleurope Tower (Lille)

Affine has just signed a purchase agreement with Amundi Immobilier of four
spare floors in the Lilleurope Tower, an office building in which Affine
already owns 15 of the 20 floors purchased in 2006, 2008 and 2012. The four
levels represents a surface area of 5,053 sqm and are fully let for an amount
of EUR676,000. The building is almost fully occupied by various blue-chip
tenants such as EDF, Europorte, Macif, SNCF and Tereos.

Located at the heart of Euralille, the third largest business district in
France after La Défense (Paris) and La Part- Dieu (Lyon), and overlooking the
Lille Europe international TGV (high-speed train) station, the tower stands on
one of the city's prime locations. It can be easily reached by rail, road or
public transport. The location is set to become even more attractive with the
ramp-up of traffic at the Lille Europe train station, the positioning of
Euralille as the business district of Lille metropolitan area, the development
of Euralille 2, and other urban development projects under study.

This new transaction witnesses Affine's investment strategy that aims at
achieving a balanced development between Paris Métropole and other major
French cities such as Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes and Toulouse.
The investment will contribute specifically to immediate rental income, after
the recent disposals pending the commissioning of several turnkey acquisitions,
currently under construction.
In this transaction, BNP Paribas Real Estate acted as consultant for the seller
under an exclusive mandate. The notaries representing the seller and the buyer
are Maître Hervé Sarrazin from Thibierge notary office and Maître Olivier
Trichet from the Haussmann notary office respectively.
