DEMIRE sells Telekom property in Ulm

Langen, 20 April 2023. DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG (ISIN: DE000A0XFSF0) has disposed of a property in Ulm to a German family office. The parties have agreed not to disclose the sales price. The handover of the asset is expected to take place soon. The property has a lettable area of approx. 48,000 sqm and is located in a prominent central location in proximity to Ulm’s main railway station. The property has a long-standing, well-known main tenant in Deutsche Telekom.

The disposal serves to further optimize the portfolio and diversify the rental income structure. While Deutsche Telekom’s share of rental income was still over 30% five years ago, it had already fallen to 14% by the end of 2022 and will be less than 10% after the sale.
