On the commercial side, no important new letting agreement related to office buildings has been signed in the first quarter, but some existing agreements have been extended, in particular with regard to the assets Diamond, Alma and Corvettes.
In France the pre-commercialization of the retail areas in Suresnes is evolving positively as 65% of the area is now pre-let.
The commercial restructuring of the gallery Marché Saint-Germain is also moving forward as negotiations with an important international brand are evolving positively.
The global portfolio occupancy rate amounts to 80% vs 84% on December 31st 2012. This decrease is the result of the sale at the end of March of the building Prins B.5 (nearly fully occupied) and of a reletting but for a smaller surface in the building Diamond.
The net rental income of the first quarter amounts to €2,815 K versus €2,841 for the same period of last year.
The sale of the buildings Prins B.5 (Antwerp) and Eragny (Ile de France) has no impact on the rental income. Those sales have indeed been closed respectively at the end of the 1st and 2nd quarter.
With regards to City Mall and its three projects in Verviers, Namur and Charleroi, the evolution is the following :
With regards to our participation in the Dolce hotel-conference centers, no particular evolution has occurred.
The year 2013 began in a positive way with three significant operations :
For 2013, Banimmo has a sales objective of around € 60 million. About half of this objective has already been realized. The negotiations on the sale of three retail assets in France, amongst which the important repositioning of Jardins des Quais in Bordeaux, are evolving positively.
After having experienced some delays, the commercial repositioning of the Halle Baltard (Secrétan – Paris 19th district) will be able to start.
The real estate development contract (« CPI ») has been signed with a subsidiary of Bouygues and the financing has been closed with a local bank.
The estimated repositioning time is 21 months.
The repositioning of the retail gallery in Suresnes (Paris) is progressing and will be finalized at the end of the year.
The overall real estate environment in Belgium and France has not changed significantly over the past quarter.
Given the number of ongoing operations, it is too early to give an outlook for 2013.
