Leigh Court, London. Acquired in 2017.
The main drivers are higher occupancy rate, increasing new lease levels, and completion of capital projects.
Additionally, the in-place rent, like-for-like, increased by 6.3 percent during the last twelve months.
The trend with rental income growth continues.
Strong demand for Akelius' apartments coupled with higher occupancy rates and completion of capital projects are main drivers.
Thanks to the completion of capital projects and purely focusing on property management,
the vacancy rate, like-for-like, decreased from 6.6 percent to 4.9 percent during the last twelve months.
The vacancy rate excluding construction work and sales was 1.4 percent.
Capitalization rate went from 4.74 to 4.92 percent. The negative value growth during 2024 was EUR 121 million, or 2.1 percent.
The loan-to-value decreased from 42 to 35 percent during the period, a decrease by 7 percentage points.
In September, Akelius sold 14,800,000 shares in Castellum AB for EUR 188 million to its parent company.
The financial guarantee, which has previously been upsized to EUR 1,900 million by the main owner, will be used to repay maturing debt.
The average interest rate continued to decrease during the period, from 1.38 to 1.12 percent.
Akelius sold four properties in Paris for EUR 7 million during 2024.
Akelius has also signed agreements to sell six properties by the end of 2024 in Paris for EUR 19 million.
Those properties require large capital projects.
Finishing large capital projects and reducing vacancies continue to pay off.
