Blackstone is considering selling a Spanish rental apartment portfolio worth about €1.2 billion (US$1.4 billion), reported Bloomberg News. The asset management giant first invested in the Iberian multifamily market more than a decade ago in the aftermath of the global financial crisis.

Fidere Patrimonio Socimi SA, a unit of Blackstone, oversees the properties. Following a sale, the companies intend to keep control of the management platform, according to Bloomberg.

The seller paid €284 million in 2003, and Reuters reported that the century-old property attracted major investors before selling to Blackstone.
