Today, on 4 April 2007, Deutsche Wohnen expanded the property portfolio by
the acquisition of 510 residential and 37 commercial units. The property
stock was owned by private individuals and is located in the cities of
Offenbach (75 percent) and Frankfurt (25 percent). Whole acquired living
area amounts to 35,000 sqm (corresponding with an average size of 63 sqm
per unit). The average monthly rent comes to EUR 7.75 per sqm, the vacancy
rate is approximately 5 percent. The residential properties were
predominantly build in the sixties.
The acquisition price amounts to approximately EUR 40.5 million. The
internal rate of return is calculated with approximately 9 percent (on
basis of 25 percent equity). The purchased property stock disposes of
potentials in rental development and privatization, which will be enhanced
by Deutsche Wohnen next years.
Together with the 426 residential units acquired in January 2007, in the
current business year 2007 Deutsche Wohnen acquired approximately 950
residential units. This figure corresponds with the major part of
residential privatizations planned by Deutsche Wohnen for the whole
business year 2007 (between 1,000 to 1,200 sales of residential units).
Further acquisitions are intended.
