* Good location in district of Pries/Friedrichsort
* Purchase price of EUR 24.5 million
* Kiel's dynamic growth perspectives provide favourable outlook for real
estate market
BUWOG, a wholly owned subsidiary of IMMOFINANZ Group, has acquired a
portfolio totalling 582 flats in the Schleswig-Holstein capital of Kiel.
The package consists of nine properties and has lettable space totalling
28,210 sqm. The seller is the Dutch residential firm RVG Real Estate, the
purchase price is EUR 24.5 million, the gross return amounts to 7.7
percent, and the actual rent is EUR 5.74/sqm.
The portfolio is concentrated on Pries/Friedrichsort. This district has
developed quite well in the past and has become an attractive residential
location in close proximity to a beach. The properties acquired by BUWOG
stem from the fifties and are in good structural condition. The vacancy
rate is 4.29 percent and includes flats that will be available for letting
after renovation.
For Daniel Riedl, CEO of BUWOG and management board member of BUWOG's
parent company IMMOFINANZ Group, Kiel is a particularly attractive
investment location: 'The population forecast of the city is positive and,
according to Prognos-Zukunftsatlas, it is one of Germany's most
economically dynamic cities. Thus the demand for the flats we have acquired
in the average price segment appears to be guaranteed for the long term and
we can expect a low vacancy rate as well as steadily rising average rents'.
With the purchase of the portfolio in Kiel following the acquisition of
1,916 flats in Berlin, 1,190 flats in Kassel, and 900 flats in Lüneburg and
Syke BUWOG has already concluded its fourth major transaction in Germany
this calendar year. Currently, the residential portfolio in Germany totals
around 6,900 units, in addition to development projects with another 1,500
flats in Berlin. Commensurate with the longer-term investment strategy, all
of the purchases took place in the northern German states in which BUWOG
will also concentrate in the future.?On BUWOG Group
