Distances between fixed-point sets in metrically complete 2-dimensional Euclidean buildings are realised

We prove that if two finitely generated groups act by isometries on a metrically complete $2$ -dimensional Euclidean building, then the distance between their fixed-point sets is realised. Our proof uses the geometry of Euclidean buildings, which we view as $CAT (0)$ spaces, and properties of ultrapowers of Euclidean buildings.
