LONDON, Feb. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Crestline Investors, Inc. ("Crestline"), a credit focused institutional alternative asset manager, today announced that it has acquired two premier shopping centers in Italy, The Il Ducale in Vigevano and Costaverde in Montenero di Bisaccia, with Pradera acting as an investment and asset manager and New End as a co-investor.

"We look forward to sourcing new opportunities in the convenience-led retail real estate market together with our partners."

"We are very proud to have stabilized the two centers in the last 12 months through our hard asset management work and we're now focusing on furthering that value creation for the years to come."
