IMMOFINANZ sells residential properties and hotel in Vienna
13.07.2015 / 10:31
---------------------------------------------------------------------
IMMOFINANZ has continued its portfolio adjustment with the sale of several
properties in Vienna during recent weeks. For example: a package of
residential properties was sold to an Austrian insurance group and the
Leonardo Hotel Vienna - the last hotel in the IMMOFINANZ portfolio based on
the main use - was sold to the lessee. The proceeds from these transactions
totalled almost EUR 100 million and substantially exceeded the respective
book values at the end of October 2014.
"Investors' interest in the Vienna real estate market remains high, above
all due to the current low interest rates. This is reflected in attractive
prices. With the sale of this residential portfolio and the hotel, we are
continuing to sharpen our profile as a pure commercial real estate
corporation", indicated Oliver Schumy, CEO of IMMOFINANZ Group.
The portfolio sold to Wiener Städtische and Sparkassen Versicherung
comprises eight residential properties with a combined rentable space of
approx. 26,000 sqm. All of the apartment buildings are located within the
Vienna Beltway (Districts 3, 4 and 5). The Leonardo Hotel has 204 rooms and
is located on the Mariahilfer Beltway, diagonally opposite the West Railway
Station. Based on the main use, it represents the last hotel property in
the IMMOFINANZ portfolio.
The sale of these residential properties and the hotel significantly
reduced the share of the "Other" segment in IMMOFINANZ's standing
investment portfolio to about 2% (from 3.4% as of 31 January 2015).
