CMB-Prime has acquired a portfolio of public ground transportation terminals

Inversiones Costa Azul has sold a portfolio of three public bus terminals to CMB-Prime Administradora General de Fondos S.A.

The three public bus terminals are located in the municipalities of Peñalolén and Puente Alto in Chile and have long-term lease contracts with the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications which, due to the strategic locations of the terminals, considers them highly relevant for Santiago public transportation system. These three terminals will be converted into electro terminals and will house more than 540 additional electric buses.
