** UBS downgrades German real estate company Alstria Office
AOXG.DE to "neutral" from "buy" after recent share price
performance following Brookfield's takeover offer BAMa.TO
** The broker says Alstria's shares have risen 14% from Nov.
4, when Brookfield made the bid, and they have traded near the
offer price since then urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N2RV2O8
** It adds that a higher offer than that from Brookfield is
limited due to tighter German tax laws and fair value of Alstria
** The stock has gained around 31% year-to-date
** Out of 14 analysts that cover Alstria Office REIT AG,
three rate the stock "buy" or higher, eight have a "hold"
rating and three rate the stock "sell" or lower
