German housing developer Grounds Real Estate Development said it has added two properties to its portfolio.
The listed firm has acquired the two properties in Bernau and in Dallgow-Döberitz for an undisclosed amount.
The property in Bernau comprises a residential park built in 1997 and comprising 59 apartments offering around 4,070sqm of rentable area. The Dallgow-Döberitz asset is a terrace of houses with a total of 28 rented houses built there in 1997 on a 7,200sqm site and which The Grounds intends to privatise.
Jacopo Mingazzini, a member of the management board of The Grounds, said: “These two most recent new acquisitions already enabled us to seamlessly continue our previous year’s high growth dynamic following on soon after the year-end. As well as these individual features and micro-locations, the demographic trends in Berlin’s ‘affluent suburbs’ are another most important aspect in favour of these two locations.
�For about two years, we have already observed that Berlin’s approximately 15-year population growth phase seems to be at an end, instead of which more people are again settling in the federal capital’s closer surroundings.
�Due to the continuing inadequacy of new residential construction in Berlin, the surrounding region will probably become increasingly attractive as a residential and investment location in the future.�
