PRESS RELEASE

HAMBORNER REIT AG expands its portfolio with modern DIY store in Freiburg and sells high-street retail property in Dortmund

Duisburg, 5 October 2021 - HAMBORNER REIT AG has signed the purchase agreement for a large-scale retail property in Freiburg.

The property acquired is a DIY store with a garden centre built in 2018 and located in the established "Freiburg-Haid" business park. It is conveniently and centrally located in a prominent spot.

The tenant of the roughly 10,700 m² property is the OBI Group, which has made a long-term commitment to the site with a lease contract running until 2033. The purchase price of the property is approximately €18.9 million. With annual net rental income of approximately €1.1 million, the gross initial yield is around 5.6%. The property is expected to be transferred to the HAMBORNER portfolio in the first quarter of 2022, giving the company three properties at the promising Freiburg location.

HAMBORNER has also continued its sales activities in recent weeks, selling another high-street retail property - the "DOMI" - in Dortmund, which recently contributed about €1.7 million to annual rental income. The selling price is in line with the most recently determined fair value. Systematically continuing the portfolio rotation that begun last year the company reduced the share of high-street retail properties to just 3.5% of the total portfolio volume, with the majority of assets intended for short-term disposal already having been sold.
