Originally, the idea was to use some of the cash raised as part of Santander’s war chest as it pursued ABN Amro. Santander bought the Latin America assets of the Dutch bank. Its 1,156 Spanish properties were divided up into five lots and sold to investors. The first sale closed in October 2007 and the last was wrapped up at the end of January with the sale of the Madrid headquarters. The lots were made up of the retail branch network, 11 regional headquarters across Spain as well as the Boadilla del Monte campus.
