Mapletree Investments is set to expand in seven locations in European Union and United Kingdom.

The Mapletree Europe Income Trust (MERIT) office fund has closed after raising €507m ($816m), Mapletree Investments announced.

The funds will be used to invest in seven grade A office assets in Manchester, Bristol, Aberdeen, Munich, Dublin, Warsaw, and Utrecth amounting to €2.1b ($1.93b).

"The successful fund raise of MERIT amidst the current COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the confidence and endorsement that investors have in Mapletree’s fund management capability and track record. Investors of MERIT will benefit from a robust and stable income stream generated from a portfolioofhigh quality European commercial assets, anchored by long lease profiles," Mapletree Group CEO Hiew Yoon Khong said in a statement.

MERIT will be managed by Mapletree Real Estate Advisors, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mapletree. Retaining a 27% stake of MERIT, it is Mapletree's 11th private equity fund.

MERIT followed three previous funds outside of Singapore: an Australia-based commercial fund, a logistics fund based in Europe and United States, and a student accomodation fund based in United Kingdom and United States.
