DIC Asset AG: Continued Success in the Operative Business
- Major letting contract signed with Deutsche Bank AG for 5,300 sqm in
Frankfurt
- Sales target for 2013 achieved ahead of time with additional sales
worth 10 million euros
DIC Asset AG (WKN A1X3XX4 / ISIN DE000A1X3XX4) just reported another two
successful dealings in its operative business in August 2013: On the one
hand, a major letting contract over 5,300 sqm in Frankfurt was signed with
Deutsche Bank AG while, on the other hand, three smaller properties were
sold for approximately 10 million euros.
Major Letting Contract Signed with Deutsche Bank
The Frankfurt office of DIC Onsite just re-let the entire 5,300 sqm of
office space in an office building in Frankfurt to Deutsche Bank AG after a
few months of vacancy. DIC Asset AG holds a 20-percent interest in the
property, which is one of the assets of the company's co-investment
segment. The long-term letting contract already commenced with the start of
September, and is based on the current market rent. The tenant was advised
by Jones Lang LaSalle.
Sales Target for 2013 Achieved Ahead of Time
Meanwhile, the company achieved a total sales volume of 83 million euros by
selling another three smaller properties from its investment property
portfolio (Commercial Portfolio) for approximately 10 million euros,
thereby passing the year-end target of 80 million euros well ahead of time.
Sales prices exceeded the most recently appraised fair market values by an
average of more than five percent. The company strives to sell a maximum of
100 million euros by the end of the year, via single small-scale sales.
In total, the company has sold 10 properties year-to-date, of which 6
properties were taken out of the co-investment segment (with DIC Asset AG
holding 20-percent stakes). Four properties were sold out of the Commercial
Portfolio. As it is, DIC Asset AG should realise a minimum sales profit of
approximately 3.5 million euros in the 2013 financial year.
