PRLog (Press Release) – Dec 20, 2010 – New York, NY – Tishman Speyer recently announced the acquisition of the Cap De Seine Building in Paris, thereby expanding its European portfolio and presence in Paris.

The off-market transaction is Tishman Speyer’s second acquisition in Paris this year.

The Cap De Seine property holds a solid tenant base that includes financial firms Credit Foncier de France and Stanley Solutions de Securite, healthcare companies PPD France and the French health insurance office, and IT solutions company AGFA.
