Branicks Group AG: Strong lettings performance toward year-end

• Renewal of 34,000 sqm and new lease of 2,000 sqm
• Securing stable earnings for stakeholders
• Implementation of “Performance 2024” action plan making progress

Branicks Group AG (“Branicks”, ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4), one of Germany’s leading listed property companies, successfully renewed three leases for a combined office area of around 34,000 sqm and signed new leases for around 2,000 sqm with high-net-worth tenants from the financial and banking sector. The premises are located in landmark buildings in Frankfurt that Branicks manages on behalf of third parties. Branicks thus secures further long-term stable earnings and creates sustainable value for its stakeholders.

“These successful lettings close to the end of the year underscore, on the one hand, our high letting and asset management competencies as a one-stop provider while also highlighting the appeal and quality of our office accommodation. On the other hand, they confirm that we are making good progress with the ongoing effort to strengthen our portfolio business in line with our ‘Performance 2024’ action plan,” said Christian Fritzsche, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Branicks.
