Major lease renewal secured at Berlin investment, ahead of ERV
Schroder European Real Estate Investment Trust plc, the Company investing in European
growth cities and regions, has agreed a 12-year lease regear with DIY specialist Hornbach,
at its Berlin investment. At 11%, Hornbach, which is publicly listed with a market cap of
€1.67 billion, is the second largest tenant in the Company's portfolio by income.
The property comprises 16,800 sqm of lettable area set on a four-acre site and is situated
10 km south of Berlin's city centre in the densely populated area of Mariendorf. The triple
net lease is subject to indexation and has been agreed ahead of the 31 December 2024
estimated rental value (ERV).
Jeff O'Dwyer, Fund Manager, commented: "Through active negotiations, we have been
able to enhance the portfolio's income security and increase the weighted average lease
expiry by 1.3 years, from 3.0 years to 4.3 years(1). Furthermore, this re-gear, which is
expected to positively impact the asset's value and liquidity, reflects the tenant critical
nature of the property which is in a submarket witnessing increasing competition from
higher value use classes for land."
(1)Term to the earlier of break and expiry as at 31 March 2025.
