Racine accompagne Weinberg Capital Partners dans la cession de la plateforme logistique CINETIQ à Union Investment
Paris, 7 November 2025 – Racine advised Weinberg Capital Partners on the sale of CINETIQ, a leading logistics platform, to Union Investment, a leading player in European real estate investment.
Founded in 2005, Weinberg Capital Partners is an independent investment company that has historically been active in buyouts. The company has now established itself as a leading player in the mid-market equity segment in France, with €1.9 billion in assets under management. The company has since broadened its scope by investing in listed French SMEs and mid-cap companies as a minority shareholder.
Acquired in March 2024, CINETIQ was the first logistics investment for the WREP#3 real estate fund, quickly becoming a benchmark in the French logistics market by 2025. Strategically located between Paris and Normandy, the project was delivered in spring 2025 and was carried out in accordance with demanding architectural and environmental standards, obtaining BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification. A few months after the site was handed over to France Boissons, the tenant under a 12-year lease, the transaction was completed.
For Weinberg Capital Partners, this sale demonstrates the success of an ambitious project and the ability of its real estate team complete transactions in a low-liquidity market.
Racine collaborated with WCP on tax matters, working alongside a team comprising Quentin Cournot (Partner) and Georges Lebauvy (Associate).
Other parties involved on the WCP side included:
– Notaries: Allez & Associés (Jennifer Aeschimann and Lola Aucouturier)
– Legal: Reedsmith (Carole Steimlé and Hugo Collantier).
Union Investment was supported by:
– Notaries: Screeb (Delamarche and Grégoire)
– Tax: Yards (Jérémie Yeni)
– Legal: Franklin (François Verdot)
