Berlin, 23 December 2020 – ACCENTRO Real Estate AG, an investor in residential real estate and Germany’s leading housing privatisation company, just sold a real estate portfolio in Bayreuth and the city’s greater area to an institutional investor. The portfolio comprises 189 units and has a lettable area of around 11,000 square metres. It was agreed not to disclose the selling price.

ACCENTRO extensively refurbished and modernised the properties in recent years. Works included the replacement of façades, roofs and heating systems. In addition, balcony systems were added in some places, and community areas such as stairwells and outside facilities overhauled. In the case of vacant flats, the interiors were also refurbished.

“This successful transaction highlights ACCENTRO’s wide spectrum of deliverables. Purchasing the properties, which are situated in sought-after locations, and subsequently modernising and refurbishing them enabled us to create attractive residential accommodation for their tenants. At the same time, projects like this one offer great investment opportunities for institutional buyers who consider residential real estate in Germany a stable and sustainable investment type,” commented Lars Schriewer, CEO of ACCENTRO Real Estate AG.
