MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
REGIONAL OFFICE MARKETS – STRENGTH THROUGH STABILITY
5
� Market attraction: Increasing transaction volumes within German real estate markets confirm
ongoing interest of domestic and foreign investors alike with office properties being the main
target
� Investor focus: prime properties in the “Top 7” markets are especially sought after, resulting
in a shortage of supply and falling property yields
� Stability: In contrast, key regional cities offer lower volatility of rents and property yields,
limiting market risk, thus ensuring continued positive performance
� Solid tenant base: Local / regional origins of SME’s act as a guarantor of long-term tenant demand and less speculative office developments
� Increasing importance: Attractive investment opportunities and favorable entry prices in
regional office markets act as an alternative to “Top 7” markets, especially for risk-averse
investors
� Market liquidity: increasing transactional volumes in key regional markets reflect growing investor demand
