Real Estate Outlook for German Office Market Real Estate Company Rating Outlook for German office market Price (EUR) PT (EUR) Potential (%) What’s ahead for the office market in Germany? alstria office REIT Buy 12.20 16.10 32.0% The COVID-19 crisis has changed our lives profoundly in many ways. While some parts of the economy have fared well, others faced tremendous difficulties with a sudden DIC Asset Buy decline in demand leading to zero revenue generation – a crisis impact not seen before. 10.24 19.00 85.5% For the real estate market, the consequences of such changes vary across sectors and UBM Development Buy in the degree of visibility and thus, in terms of future outcomes. While the residential 31.00 47.00 51.6% sector developed very well, the distressed retail sector remains under pressure. The office sector however, has not provided a very clear picture of the future and after taking a closer look at the prevailing driving forces, we share our insights and expectations in this report. Investment market: The different stimulus packages should ensure that investor confidence in the German investment market, and particularly in the office market, continues to strengthen. With this, the transaction market is expected to pick up again. Rental market: The incipient economic recovery should have a positive effect on the rental market and, despite all the uncertainties, we expect a moderate recovery in the coming months. Vacancy: As tenants are expected to remain cautions, with many adopting a “wait-and- see” approach as the pandemic continues, vacancies should increase slightly towards the end of the year as new office space comes onto market. Rent levels: The pressure on rents could intensify as the year progresses if there is an increase in attempts to push through rent-free periods or expansion cost subsidies . Financing: We expect a decline in new business volume of commercial real estate financing in Germany in 2020. The financing volume of offices should be stable as demand for core office properties (LT-lease, fully let, strong tenants) from equity-rich investors should remain strong. COVID-19 should not have had much of an impact on the conditions for the financing of core properties owing to banks' focus and strong liquidity from the ECB's TLTRO programme. The financing of other categories (core+, value add, development) will deteriorate. For this reason we expect opportunities in these asset categories for investors with strong equity and liquidity positions or access to financing. Covenants: The possible lower LTV requirement in new business could lead to lower demand for higher-risk assets as investors with a strong equity position prefer core assets (insurers, pension funds) to secure a stable cash flow. Credit quality: NPL-volume should rise due to negative cash-flow developments due to tenant insolvencies. This could offer attractive investment opportunities across categories core+, value add and developments due to forced selling. Remote work: The share of office workers working from home will increase and impact office market by between 10–20%. However, the transition will be gradual and will occur over the medium term and therefore should not impact yields profoundly. To conclude our report, we applied our assumptions to different business models within the office sector, such as alstria as a portfolio holder, DIC with its hybrid business model (portfolio holder and asset manager) and UBM Development as a developer of office real estate. We believe all those businesses provide different but attractive exposure to the recovery of the office sector. However, we are convinced the current environment offers opportunities for those with sufficient liquidity and low risk of revaluations leading to write-offs.

In the real estate sector there are different investment styles; and in order to be able to assign suitable properties to these styles, the so-called risk classes or risk categories have become established in the real estate sector. The risk classes provide information on how the risks relate to the yield opportunities of the respective property. A distinction is usually made between the risk classes Core, Core Plus, Value add and Opportunistic. In order to classify a property, key figures are used to allow an objective risk assessment. Criteria for risk assessment include location, tenant structure, value potential, vacancy rate, solvency of the tenants, debt ratio and expected return Core and Core Plus assets: . High-quality existing properties and new developments . Very high asset quality . No, or only minor, maintenance investments . Good to very good location . Low vacancy rate . Long-term leases . Very high solvency of tenants The aim of Core and Core Plus properties is maintenance, renovation and refurbishment. Value add and Opportunistic assets: . Higher vacancy . Higher maintenance investments required . Higher value increase potential The aim of Value add and Opportunisitc assets are to privatise or re-let the properties after renovation, redensification or new construction. Once a property has been upgraded, it should be sold at profit.

Compared to the first half of 2019, this represents an increase of 21%. As in recent years, the office sector was the main driver of this increase, accounting for more than 40% of transaction volume in the commercial real estate sector.

Driven by large portfolio transactions (17 portfolio transactions in excess of EUR 100m, totaling EUR 14.7bn), the transaction volume increased by 97% to EUR 27.8m compared to the previous year (Q1 2019: EUR 14.1bn). Thereof, EUR 18.4bn was attributable to commercial real estate and EUR 9.4bn to “living” (residential properties). But even the property market was not left untouched by the pandemic. Mainly as a result of the lockdown during the second quarter, the transaction volume fell by 20% compared to previous year’s Q2. Office properties remain the most popular asset class among investors and reflect the confidence in the stability of the German office market. Even during the lockdown, transactions for core assets in prime locations were observed, such as the sale of Patrizia’s Ericus-Contor office building in Hamburg to Union Investment Transaction35 volume in Germany (EUR bn) 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Average Q1 14 - Q2 20 Source: CBRE, JLL, Warburg Research S E C T O R N OTE Published 05.10.2020 4 Real Estate For the moment it looks as if the German economy is slowly recovering after the massive slump in spring. Two arguments support this thesis: .

  • Spree Riverbanks for Everyone! What Remains of “Sink Mediaspree”?1
    Spree Riverbanks for Everyone! What Remains of “Sink Mediaspree”?1 Jan Dohnke In recent years, the protests against the large-scale investment project “Media- spree” in Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain have repoliticized the public debate on ur- ban development more than any other event in Berlin. In the context of urban development that is increasingly dominated by neoliberal concepts in the wake of German reunification, the “Sink Mediaspree” initiative has been especially effective in putting fundamental questions about the sense and purpose of the urban development in Berlin back on the agenda. In a manner that drew the wider public’s attention, this movement also succeeded in challenging “entre- preneurial urban policy” in general. In fact, the planning decisions that have provoked citizens’ protest since 2006 contained many elements that seam- lessly fit into Berlin’s neoliberal restructuring. The commitment to large-scale, investor-friendly projects at the expense of local organisational structures and needs in order to create locational advantages for the city in the international competition to attract investors; advancing privatisation and commercialisation to the disadvantage of the broader public good; and, overall, the increasingly one-dimensional orientation of planning and land utilisation toward economic targets. In the light of the state of Berlin’s difficult financial situation, development is largely expected to come from the private sector, whose investments facili- tate construction projects and, on this basis, are supposed to create new jobs. Apart from marketing strategies, Berlin (like many other cities) also draws on particular incentive strategies, e.g. the affordable provision of infrastructure, public subsidies, tax concessions, and a form of planning that privileges major investors by means of its large-scale and dense nature.

Chg Forecast ECONOMY: Signs of Recovery According to Oxford Economics’ estimates, Germany faced a fall in GDP of almost 11% in the second quarter due to the measures 3.9% imposed by the government to combat the spread of Covid-19. Unemployment increased by more than 500,000 persons in only Vacancy Rate three months, to 2.85 million by end of June. The number of employees on the government’s furlough scheme reached 6.83 million in April 2020. However, growth rates for both unemployment and short-time working decreased in May and June, indicating that the 489,100 worst of the crisis has been overcome. Sentiment among German companies, as measured by the ifo Business Climate Index, Take-Up sq.m brightened in May and particularly in June, with the strongest increase ever recorded. In Germany, never before have so many office employees worked remotely as in recent months and it appears common sense, that this experience will further boost digitalization in Germany and will have a lasting impact on the way work is distributed between office space and alternative spaces, EUR 37.77 including homes, cafés and local office hubs. Avg. Prime Rent, Sq.m/month DEMAND: Take-up Plunged Due to the lockdown, activity in the office letting market slowed at end of March and remained at a low level untill early June. Many searches for spaces were withdrawn or put on hold. However, space negotiations which were at an advanced stage were still pursued and finalized.

  • Initiativkreis Mediaspree Versenken! Ag Spreeufer
    INITIATIVKREIS MEDIASPREE VERSENKEN! AG SPREEUFER Information zum Anschutz-Gelände Das Baugebiet teilt sich in drei Grundstücksteile: Das Post-Areal (wieder Post AG), „Anschutz-Areal“ (Anschutz Enter- tainment Group AEG), „BSR-Areal“ (BSR, Land Berlin, sozialer Woh- nungsbau möglich) Rund um die O2-World sind fünf Hochhäuser zwischen 50 und 138 Metern geplant. Die meisten übrigen Baukörper sind 28 Meter hoch. Besonders das 138-Meter-Hochhaus gegenüber des U-Bahnhofs Warschauer Straße ruft allgemeines Entsetzen hervor. Westlich der Veranstaltungshalle ist ein „Entertainment-Center“ geplant, das Paral- lelen mit Las Vegas und ein „Currywurst-Museum“ haben soll, so der Eigentümer, der texanische Multimilliardär Philip Anschutz. Insgesamt sind sagenhafte 623.000qm Geschossfläche ge- plant, davon rund 100.000qm auf dem Grundstück der BSR am östlichen Rand des Areals. 27 Mio. Euro investierte das Land Berlin bereits in Planung, Straßenbau und Abbruch- maßnahmen – damit sich die Grundstücke teurer weiterver- kaufen lassen. Der damalige Kaufpreis für das Areal (ehem. Ostgüterbahnhof - Bundeseigentum) ist Geheimsache. Das Bauvorhaben ist das Resultat eines städtebaulichen Gutach- tens aus dem Jahr 2002 und wurde als „vorhabenbezogener Bebauungsplan“ der Öffentlichkeit lediglich vorgestellt, ohne dass diese einen relevanten Einfluss auf Änderungen gehabt hätte. Seit dem 29.01.2004 ist der Bebauugnsplan festgesetzt, der städtebauliche Vertrag sichert die Planung bis ins Jahr 2020. Es sind 6.000 KFZ-Stellplätze vorgesehen. Angesichts der gewaltigen Masse der „O2-World“ (Höhe: 42,5 Meter) ist eine dichte Umbauung kaum vorstellbar. Es gibt aber auch viele Stimmen, die sich angesichts der geringen architektonische Qualität eine Umbauung herbeisehen. Lösungsperspektive: Der Senat und der Bezirk leiten neue Verhandlungen mit der „Anschutz Entertainment Group“ (AEG) ein mit dem Ziel, die Planung zu überarbeiten.

  • Berlin / Deutschland
    Mai 2021 grundbesitz europa Büroimmobilie „Up!“, Berlin / Deutschland Ankauf im November 2018 / Fertigstellung im Mai 2021 Das Fondsmanagement von grundbesitz europa hat im November 2018 die Projektentwicklung eines Bürogebäudes in Berlin erworben. Der Bau der für einen Kaufpreis von rund 315,0 Mio. EUR angekauften herausragenden Immobilie wurde im Mai 2021 planmäßig abgeschlossen und das Gebäude in den Bestand übernommen. „Up!“ ist nun die drittgrößte Immobilie im Portfolio des europaweit investierenden Fonds und das volumenmäßig größte Objekt in Deutschland. Zudem ist es aktuell das 100. Objekt des grundbesitz europa. Die mit „LEED Gold“ für ökologisch nachhaltiges Bauen zertifizierte Immobilie entspricht mit ihrer zentralen Lage, der hohen Gebäudequalität und den attraktiven Ausstattungen nahezu perfekt den Anforderungen an ein „Next Generation Office“, das von jungen, tech-affinen Unternehmen bevorzugt angemietet wird. Die Investition in solche Büroobjekte ist eine der Kernstrategien der DWS. Nachdem vor rund vier Jahren das ehemals größte Kaufhaus der DDR, das später als „Kaufhof am Ostbahnhof“ bekannt war, seine Pforten schloss, begann eine umfassenden Kernsanierung des Bestandgebäudes und eine komplette Erneuerung der Fassade. Entstanden ist das markante Bürogebäude „Up!“ mit attraktiven Flächen und Raumhöhen von bis zu fünf Metern sowie Einzelhandelsflächen – insbesondere für Nahversorgung und Gastronomie – in einer gut frequentierten Lage in einem dicht besiedelten Teil Berlins. Ein Mieter einer großen Ladenfläche im Erdgeschoss wird eine bekannte Biomarkt-Kette sein. Die jetzt neungeschossige Immobilie verfügt über einen hohen Wiedererkennungswert; so macht die markante und einzigartige Architektur mit viel Glas und V-förmigen Lichteinschnitten in der Fassade sowie den außergewöhnlich hohen Decken die Immobilie einzigartig. Die Büroflächen sind vollständig und langfristig an das Unternehmen Zalando vermietet, eine der führenden Online-Plattformen für Mode in Europa.

Gate, BERLIN, ZWISCHENNUTZUNG, GENTRIFICATION AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION JEKATERINA BALICKA, landscape architect and PhD candidate at Estonian University of Life Sciences THE GLORY OF BERLIN The past decade has been characterized by a boom of urbanism. Buzzwords, such as ‘grass-root urban initiatives’, ‘participation’ and ‘creative districts’ have become hip, actual and important. Berlin is still often cited as an ex- ample of being cool, creative and livable – as if Berlin was implementing the heritage of Jane Jacobs directly in its urban development strategies. The city profits from its low-budget coolness – the mayor of Berlin, Klaus Wowereit (2001–), has stated, that ´Berlin is poor, but sexy´, attracting people from dif- ferent parts of Germany and other parts of the world, for both short stays or long-term living. The object of touristic interest over the past decade was not only its architecture and museums, but its quality of life: its freedom, ESTONIAN URBANISTS' REVIEW 13 OUTSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE its uncertainty. There remains an idea of Berlin being cool, an example of which could be eating a kebab under a scaffold, with people passing by just next to you; or watching a Karaoke event at Mauerpark after some flea-market shopping; or taking a picture in a retro photo booth next to the S-Bahn station Warschauer Straße; or standing in the long queue to get through the face- control at the legendary Berghain club, or any other scenes of the easyJet influenced touristic Berlin-idyll of the years 2006–2010.

    M A R K E T B E AT BERLIN Office Q3 2020 OVERVIEW YoY 3-Mo. With 3.67 million inhabitants and 1.56 million employees contributing to social insurance, Berlin is Germany’s capital and its largest Forecast Chg city. At €74,200, the GDP per employed person is still 2% below the national average and well below the figures for the other major German cities. For historical reasons, Berlin is in the process of catching up economically. Both the GDP and the number of 2.5% employees have been growing at an above-average rate for many years. Vacancy Rate 145K SUPPLY AND DEMAND Take-Up in sqm At 144,800 sqm, take-up in the third quarter was 18% lower than in the previous quarter and 46% lower than the five-year average of third quarters. The second quarter bore the brunt of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and would have marked a clear low point for office space take-up, had it not been for the office lease signed by Deutsche Rentenversicherung; one of the largest €38.00 ever in Berlin. Since then, leasing activity has actually increased again underpinned by the number of leases, which increased from Prime Rent /sqm/month 110 to 145. The public sector again leased space on a large scale and accounted for 43% of take-up. The twelve-month take-up decreased sharply to 702,900 sqm because of the weak take-up since the beginning of the year and the exclusion of the record Q3 (Overall, Office) 2019.
