HAMBORNER REIT AG further increases portfolio - commercial property in Lemgo transferred

Duisburg, 12 November 2010 - HAMBORNER REIT AG has further increased its portfolio. Ownership for a business property in prime location in the Mittelstrasse pedestrian precinct in Lemgo, for which the company was able to sign the contracts back in August, was transferred on 12 November 2010. The purchase price totals around EUR 6.8m, with an initial gross return of around 7%. The former Hertie department store had been completely renovated by the seller for the lessees, Hennes & Mauritz and C&A. It now has a total rental space of some 4,600sqm. C&A is already open for business, H&M followed on 11 November 2010.

On the seller's side is the project developer Amandla from Iserlohn. The property sale was mediated by the firm SQM Property Consulting from Münster

HAMBORNER REIT AG will continue to expand in its retail and office property asset classes. On the whole, HAMBORNER has been able since early in the year to invest around EUR 90m in new, attractive properties, two thirds of which have now been transferred. A successfully placed increase in capital stock in October with net proceeds from the issue of around EUR 76m furthermore provided the basis for further growth.
