Das ehemalige Industriequartier Mülheim hat sich in den letzten Jahren zu einem lebendigen Areal entwickelt, das insbesondere Unternehmen auf der Suche nach loftartigen Büroflächen mit industriellem Charme anzieht. Jamestown erwarb die vollständig vermieteten Immobilien, die im Jahr 2020 Mieteinnahmen von rund 4,6 Millionen Euro erzielen.
Die Zusammenarbeit zwischen McDermott und dem Family Office TRESONO besteht seit 2019. Der Kontakt kam über den Leiter der Praxisgruppe Immobilienwirtschaftsrecht, Dr. Jens Ortmanns, zustande.
