Broderstorf, 28 March 2018 - Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG (ISIN DE000A14KRD3) has notarised the acquisition of the very well-established retail centre "Elster Center" in Elsterwerda (Brandenburg) yesterday.

The 1991 built centre has a total rental space of 36,000 sqm and was modernised completely in 2012. Strong anchor tenants are REWE, ALDI (grocery), DM (drug store), toom (DIY), Medimax (electronics), AWG Mode (fashion) and a furnishing supplier. The centre is fully let and has an annualised rent of EUR 1.9 million at a WALT of eight years remaining plus extension options.

The total investment volume amounts to EUR 23.0 million which implies an initial yield of 8.3%. Transfer of ownership is expected to occur on 1 June 2018.

Including the latest acquisitions the current (pro forma) property portfolio of Deutsche Konsum REIT comprises of 86 retail properties with an annualised rent of EUR 33.9 million.

Due to a remaining strong acquisition pipeline Deutsche Konsum expects further acquisitions in the short run.

Rolf Elgeti, CEO: "The initial yield of 8.3% is quite low by our acquisition standards. However, we believe there is significant potential for development and rental growth in the medium term future in order to make this a very accretive acquisition for our shareholders."
