Brookfield Asset Management Inc. is exploring a takeover of listed German real estate firm Alstria Office REIT-AG, according to people familiar with the matter, as it bets on workers returning to city centers.

The Canadian investment firm is working with advisers to evaluate a potential bid, said the people, who asked not to be identified because discussions are private. Alstria Office is valued at about 3.3 billion euros ($3.9 billion) and Brookfield already holds 8.35% of the company.
