The Hamburg office ensemble was purchased in the third quarter of 2018 and was sold as a stabilized investment product to an Austrian fund for around 125 million euros in October 2020 after just two years. The repositioning increased the occupancy rate from 65% to around 100% and, at the same time, raised the average office rent to around EUR 13 The average remaining lease term almost doubled to just under 7 years. The sale resulted in a very good return on investment.
