1 Pro forma number of units including ~7,500 units acquired in June 2020, transfer of ownership expected towards end of 2020.
2 Employed by CBRE as indicator of an average rent value that could theoretically be achieved, not implying that an adjustment of the in-place rent to the market rent is feasible, as stringent legal and contractual restrictions regarding rent increases exist.
3 ≤5 years = 2020-2024; 6-10 years = 2025-2029; >10 years = 2030ff.
4 Rent upside is defined as the difference between LEG in-place rent and market rent (defined in footnote 1).
5 For example rent increase cap of 15% or 20% for three years.
