We are the long-term owner and full-scale operator of Europe's largest listed multifamily housing portfolio with ca. 568k apartments1 for small and medium incomes in metropolitan growth areas.

508k apartments in 15 urban
All of our actions have more than just an economic dimension and require adequate stakeholder reconciliation.

| #1 Residential Player |
• Europe's largest residential landlord and long-term owner of a 568k units1 multifamily housing portfolio for small and medium incomes in metropolitan growth areas. • Full-scale operator with proven economies of scale benefits – best-in-class costs per unit owned. • Demonstrated track record to vertically and horizontally extend value chain – c. €200m EBITDA contribution from value-add and development business in 9M 2021. |
|---|---|
| Uniquely Positioned |
• Business model built around residential megatrends with unique positioning to capitalize on urbanization, energy efficiency, and demographic change. • Asset basis in high demand due to historical high spreads between bund and residential yields, underpinned by a track record of non-core sales above book value. • The granularity and B-to-C nature of our business are unique in real estate. Our strategy of standardization, industrialization and process optimization makes us the industry leader with best-in-class service levels and superior cost control. |
| Attractive Risk Profile |
• Strong fundamentals provide a positive backdrop and set the stage for further organic growth (~3.8% like-for-like rental growth expected in 20212). • Regulated environment safeguards attractive risk-adjusted returns and offers downside protection. • Regulation supports robust and steady rent growth and entry barriers through high replacement costs. |
| Future Growth Potential |
• Organic earnings and value growth through stable cash flow generation, secured development pipeline and value uplift potential driven by strong demand and significant capital inflow into the asset class. • Substantial long-term upside potential from acquisitions in selected European metropolitan areas. Low execution risk from track record of acquiring >470k apartments in nine large transactions since IPO. • Consistent historical dividend growth expected to continue in the future. |
| Built-in ESG Focus |
All of our actions have more than just an economic dimension. • We provide a home to more than 1 million people from ca. 150 nations. • CO2 emissions related to housing are one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions and we have embarked on a climate path that will result in a CO2 neutral portfolio by 2050. • As a listed, blue-chip company we are rightfully held to a high standard. 1Incl. c. 15k units to be sold to the City of Berlin 2 Planning assumption in the context of the Pro Forma financials and Vonovia standalone |
