Zurich, 13 July 2017 - Peach Property Group, an investor specialising in the management of residential property in Germany, is further expanding its real estate portfolio in North Rhine-Westphalia. The acquisition of 85 apartments in Mülheim an der Ruhr, in direct proximity to the recently acquired portfolio in Oberhausen, takes the number of residential units on Peach Property Group's books to a total of 4,328 units. The corresponding purchase agreement has been recently notarized and the transaction is expected to be completed in September 2017. It has been agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
The newly acquired apartments offer residential space of around 6,800 m2 and are fully let. The annual net base rent totals around EUR 500 thousand (almost CHF 540 thousand). Most of the residential units have been renovated during the past few years and are thus in good structural condition. The apartments are in a centrally located building complex surrounded by an attractive outdoor area within a spacious park-like garden.
Dr. Thomas Wolfensberger, Peach Property Group's CEO, commented: "This purchase in Mülheim increases the number of residential units on our books to more than 4,300 with an annual target income of the entire investment portfolio to CHF 22.4 million and it supplements the residential portfolio we recently acquired in Oberhausen. The proximity of the portfolios and the fact that we will jointly manage these will allow for efficiency gains."
