DIC Asset AG successfully sold Riverpark development project in Frankfurt am Main

Frankfurt am Main, 20 April 2021. DIC Asset AG (ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4), one of Germany’s leading listed property companies, today announces the disposal of Riverpark, a development project in direct riverside location in downtown Frankfurt (on Wiesenhüttenstrasse / Untermainkai), through its subsidiary GEG German Estate Group GmbH (“GEG”) on behalf of an individual mandate. GEG already held the development asset in its portfolio at the time the company was taken over by DIC Asset AG in 2019. The transfer of possession, benefits and burdens is scheduled for the coming weeks. It was agreed not to disclose the selling price.

The standing property on Wiesenhüttenstrasse was until now used for commercial purposes, most notably as offices. The previous occupier (Union Investment) has vacated the premises.

“In conjunction with the continuous analysis of our portfolio and in line with the ongoing concentration on specific asset classes, we decided together with the institutional investor of this individual mandate, and after having looked into several strategic options, to dispose of the entire project, thereby achieving the best possible exit for the investor,” commented Christian Bock, Chief Institutional Business Officer of DIC Asset AG.
