HAMBORNER REIT AG renews lease with core tenant in O₃ office property in Cologne

Duisburg, 11 March 2021 - HAMBORNER REIT AG can report further successes in letting operations at its O₃ office property in Cologne. In particular, it has agreed a long-term renewal of the lease with one of its biggest office tenants.

The main tenant, NetCologne, a company run by the city and one of the biggest regional telecoms service providers in Germany, has made a long-term commitment to the site and pre-emptively renewed its current lease for around 16,000 m² of office space until 31 January 2036.

The renewal increases the average remaining term of the leases in the property to 10.0 years.

"We are delighted that NetCologne, a renowned tenant of good credit standing, has made this commitment to our location in Cologne. The difficult overall economic circumstances and the greater reluctance to sign long-term agreements currently being seen among some tenants underlines the success of our letting operation," said HAMBORNER REIT AG's CEO, Niclas Karoff.
