DIC Asset AG: Full Occupancy Achieved at “Schillerportal” in Frankfurt am Main

• Around 4,700 sqm of modern office space let to the provider of flexible office space solutions, WeWork
• Significant increase in WALT and complete elimination of vacancies in the property after prior core refurbishment

Frankfurt am Main, 24 September 2019 – DIC Asset AG (ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4), one of Germany’s leading listed real estate companies, has achieved full letting of the “Schillerportal” property near the Frankfurt Stock Exchange via its subsidiary GEG German Estate Group. The property with a rentable area of around 8,600 sqm is part of a GEG individual fund for an international institutional investor (Institutional Business segment) and only around 45% of the space was occupied before the lease was concluded. The weighted remaining term of the rental agreements (WALT) for the property increased significantly.

The six-storey building ensemble between Schillerstraße and Taubenstraße in the north of Frankfurt city centre consists of a listed old building from 1913 and a newer office building connected by bridges. Both parts of the building were last renovated in 2019. The centrally located office space now meets the highest technical standards and is characterised by high-quality and comfortable furnishings.

The letting contract was arranged by Colliers Frankfurt.

“We are delighted about the long-term lease with WeWork in this prestigious city-center property, which is characterised by its first-class location and thus offers the best working conditions for flexible office solutions. Flexible Office’ has established itself as a utilisation concept in the city centres and fills an attractive niche in the modern working world,” commented Sonja Wärntges, CEO of DIC Asset AG, on the successful conclusion of the lease.
