• Two properties in Berlin and in Düsseldorf sold for c. EUR 108 million

Frankfurt am Main, 20 October 2020. DIC Asset AG (ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4), one of Germany’s leading listed property companies, notarised the sale of two non-strategic properties out of its Commercial Portfolio, thereby realising their good value performance of the last years. One of the sales involved a multi-tenant property on Landsberger Strasse in Berlin-Mahlsdorf, the other one a hotel property on Münsterstrasse in Düsseldorf. The transfer of rights, benefits and obligations is planned for mid to end of the fourth quarter 2020.

The two properties, each sold to a different buyer, achieved a combined sales price of c. EUR 108 million, which is around 20% above the last market values appraised. The sales profit from the two transactions approximates EUR 34 million, while the cash flow adds up to c. EUR 60 million (either figure before taxes).

The cumulative property sales volume of c. EUR 120 million achieved in 2020 to date has thus reached the year’s sales target for the Commercial Portfolio.
