Review

The company acquired the properties at Binningerstrasse 5 and Innere Margarethenstrasse 2 in Basle in early 2022. The fact that this acquisition was implemented as part of a strategy of consolidation with the properties at Binningerstrasse 7, 9, 11 and 15, which the company already owned, is particularly pleasing.

The conclusion of a large number of new rental contracts and the renewal of existing ones in the first few months of the year meant that the low vacancy rate was maintained.

As part of the ongoing development of the property strategies, SFUP pushed ahead with the planning of renovations, conversions and new builds within the portfolio. This included the completion of the total renovation of the property at Neptunstrasse 57 in Zurich as scheduled on 30 April. All apartments have been let since 1 May.

The company was able to acquire two new development properties in the first half of the year. More important milestones were achieved for ongoing development projects. Following the completion of work on the skeleton structure for the development project at Sandreuterweg 39 in Riehen, for example, most of the finishing work has been done and pre- inspections have already been carried out for half of the 10 single-family houses. The milestone of "building envelope sealed" was achieved for Klusstrasse 38 in Zurich, and finishing work began. Demolition work for the "maison johann" new construction project at Elsässerstrasse 1 + 3 in Basle started in early May. For the development project at Fueder- holzstrasse 8 in Herrliberg, important steps were taken towards making the building permit legally effective. The planning application for the development project at Minervastrasse 124 was submitted in January 2022.

Outlook

The company is planning to continue expanding its real estate portfolio by means of targeted acquisitions, mainly focusing on potential consolidations and properties with the potential to be extended.

The vacancy rate of 2.6% as of 31 December 2021, which is still low in comparison with the rest of the market, is emblematic of SF Urban Properties Ltd's portfolio. Keeping the vacancy rate low is one of the company's main aims as it acts as a basis for securing income over the long term.

Work on renovations and the repurposing of selected properties will continue in the months ahead.

Reducing the CO2 emissions of the portfolio is also a top priority for the company. The company fulfils its responsibilities, analyses and monitors greenhouse gas emissions each year, and develops corresponding measures on that basis.

The continuation of project developments will lead to more key milestones being reached in 2022. The completion of construction work and occupation of the new construction project at Sandreuterweg 39 in Riehen are scheduled for August 2022. The completion of construction work and occupation of the property at Klusstrasse 38 in Zurich are scheduled for October 2022. Work on the skeleton structure for the "maison johann" development project in Basle is scheduled to start in the third quarter. Marketing of the development project at Fuederholzstrasse 8 in Herrliberg will start once a legally effective building permit has been granted, which is expected in the third quarter. The building permit for the development project at Minervastrasse 124 in Zurich, which was acquired in the first quarter of 2021, is expected to be granted in the course of the third quarter.
