New hirer is the international logistics company “Scherm Logistik”, who will rent the real estate for at least 5 years. Through this successful tenancy VIB Vermögen AG will realise an above-average rental return of 8.5% for this object in the future. Originally, the recently acquired parcel had an area of about 23,270 sqm. Right after the acquisition, about one quarter of this land was resold as planned earlier. The real estate acquired in a compulsory auction was financed mostly by debt capital as well as by the operating cash flow. Altogether the hired out building area amounts to 3,335 sqm. CEO Ludwig Schlosser illustrates the potential of the new object: “By new investments this real estate offers the possibility to expand the hired out building area up to 10,000 sqm. As a consequence the yield of the object can be further increased.” Overall, VIB Vermögen AG now possesses 16 real estate objects with a rentable area of more than 140,000 sqm. Considering this new investment, the management expects an increase in revenues from 5.43m EUR in 2004 to at least 7.5m EUR in the current year.
