GA_P advises Stoneshield on the purchase of a student residence in Porto
20 of December, 2023
Gómez-Acebo & Pombo has advised Stoneshield -a leading real estate investment firm focused on the Iberian Peninsula- on the purchase from Nuveen of the entire shareholding of Studenthouse Rua Manuel Pereira, owner of a student residence located in the geographical area of the Asprela Campus in Porto, Portugal.
“In recent years, housing has proven to be the biggest obstacle for higher education students, and a particularly important constraint in major urban and university centres such as Lisbon, Porto or Coimbra,” says Mafalda Barreto. She adds: “With this investment, Stoneshield Capital will undoubtedly make an important contribution to help solve this problem”.
The transaction was supported by a multidisciplinary team, coordinated by Mafalda Barreto (Managing Partner and Partner of Corporate and M&A), and comprising: Susana Morgado (Senior Associate), Inês Soares de Melo and Matilde de Sousa Marto (Junior Associates) from Corporate and M&A; Sofia Rodrigues Nunes (Of Counsel), Afonso Scarpa and João Marques Rodrigues (Associates) from Urban Planning and Real Estate; Ana Paula Basílio and Catarina Rosa (Associates) from Tax; Cláudia Tomás Pedro (Senior Associate) for Intellectual Property; Filipe Santos Barata (Of Counsel) for Banking and Insurance Law; Joaquim Caimoto Duarte (Of Counsel) for Competition and EU Law; Pedro Vilarinho Pires (Of Counsel) and Francisca Esteves Moura (Junior Associate) for Data Protection; and Ana Baptista Borges (Associate) for Labour Law.
