Frank Schaich, CEO of Fair Value REIT-AG, comments: “With the acquisition of these properties into direct ownership we continue to implement our announced strategy which includes the direct acquisition of properties from our subsidiaries. Due to savings of administrative costs on the subsidiary level and reduced interest payments our operating profit will increase.
