Peach Property Group, an investor specialising in the management of residential property in Germany, has notarised the purchase agreement for 200 apartments in Kaiserslautern. The transaction will be closed with economic effect as of 1 January 2019. The acquisition brings the total number of residential units owned by Peach Property Group in Kaiserslautern to a good 1,300 and the Group's total residential portfolio to around 8,800 units. Around 99 percent of the Group's portfolio is located in Germany.

The new apartments in the centre of Kaiserslautern are in very good condition and have an occupancy rate of 95.5 percent. Nearly all facades of the buildings, most of which were built between the end of the so-called Gründerzeit and the 1950s, have already been renovated and a good two thirds of the apartments have been refurbished in recent years. The apartments are all located in the immediate vicinity of the buildings already held by Peach Property Group in Kaiserslautern.

Dr. Thomas Wolfensberger, Peach Property Group's CEO, commented: "We are very pleased that we have reached a substantial portfolio size in Kaiserslautern and can leverage further synergies through effective administration. The new purchase in Kaiserslautern means that we can now offer our tenants a wide range of apartments - from medium to high quality and in various city locations. We have taken another step towards our medium-term goal of 11,000 units."
