NEW YORK (AP) -- W. P. Carey Inc., a real estate investment trust, said Monday that one of its affiliates bought Royal FrieslandCampina's new European innovation center in the Netherlands for about $41 million.

Construction of the new facility was completed this month. W.P. Carey said the move is its second deal in the Netherlands this year and is in line with its strategy of acquiring assets with long-term, single-tenant leases.
