TLG IMMOBILIEN announces full occupancy for the office property Kapweg in Berlin - 60% vacancy rate lowered to zero

- 60% vacancy rate (11,000 sqm) lowered to zero within two years

- Key figures for the property improved significantly

- Well-known, creditworthy tenants found

Berlin, 11 January 2019 - After most recently renting out around 2,000 sqm of office space to the District Office of Berlin-Mitte, TLG IMMOBILIEN AG (DE000A12B8Z4) was able to achieve full occupancy for the office property at Kapweg 3-5, 13405 Berlin. The property was added to the portfolio of the company in late 2016 with an EPRA Vacancy Rate of around 60% or around 11,000 sqm of vacant space. Asset management measures such as the relocation of tenants within the property combined with the strong demand for office space in the market in Berlin facilitated the continuous reduction of the high vacancy rate over the past two years. New tenants found for the property included the District Office of Berlin-Mitte and hello.de Berlin GmbH. The key figures for the property were optimised considerably:

"The full occupancy and other greatly improved key figures show how our team is making ideal use of active asset management and the positive market situation in Berlin to successfully reposition a property such as this one and adapt it to the prevailing market conditions", says Jürgen Overath, COO of TLG IMMOBILIEN. In addition to the development of a modern marketing strategy, tenants that were already in the property were relocated in order to make more efficient use of space as part of the repositioning measures. Additionally, structural measures were implemented in order to meet the needs of tenants, for example, and transform some unfinished areas into attractive office spaces.
