LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Dear Shareholders and Business Partners, Ladies and Gentlemen

alstria has demonstrated very strong operational results in the first quarter 2010. With around 5,800 sqm of new leases signed, representing a significant number of sqm of the total vacancy in the portfolio, the sale of a Hamburg portfolio at a significant premium to year end valuation, and major progress in all our refurbishment projects, we had a very good start into the year.

The strong operational start was complemented by the continuity of our step by step measures to further strengthen alstria's balance sheet. This approach has allowed us to reduce alstria's refinancing needs in the next 18 months from EUR 1,103 m down to EUR 646 m in one of the most difficult times on record. This approach has also allowed us to free up around EUR 74 m of cash, which is more than 15% of the current market capitalisation of the company.

We are consistently preparing alstria for the expected cyclical rebound in the real estate market. Our G-REIT equity ratio is back at 44.1% a breath away from the required 45%. Our balance sheet is one of the strongest in Germany, and we are among the few that demonstrated their ability to refinance a substantial part of our debt in a difficult time. We rebuilt a cash position, which enables us to seize market opportunities in terms of new acquisitions or repositioning of assets within our own existing portfolio.

Despite all of the above, we feel that it is too early to call it a day. Although there are a number of positive signals in the market, we are still concerned by the significant debt overhang that needs to be refinanced in the not so distant future. We remain focused on managing our assets and liabilities with our next priorities being the remaining EUR 646 m still outstanding on the existing syndicated loan. Also we remain committed to securing the G-REIT position of alstria, and to achieving significant progress on our asset repositioning projects, namely the refurbishment of 'Alte Post' and the construction of the new Ohnsorg-theatre in 'Bieberhaus'.

With kind regards,

Olivier Elamine Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Alexander Dexne Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

ALSTRIA STOCK

SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENT

Reflecting the confidence that recovery of economic climate continues, the financial markets sustained their upward trend in the first quarter of 2010. Many stock indices marked new 52-week highs and there was a further decrease in volatility.

The alstria share price performed well with the market as a whole over the course of the first quarter of 2010. The share price increased from EUR 7.50 on December 31, 2009 to EUR 8.40 on March 31, 2010, representing an increase of 12%. The share price ranged between EUR 7.50 and EUR 8.50 during the first quarter reflecting the more moderate market volatility.

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW

On March 31, 2010, our portfolio consisted of 74 office buildings with approximately 820,900 sqm of lettable area and a contractual vacancy rate of 6.5%. The portfolio is valued at a yield of 6.3% and the remaining average lease length is approximately 9.2 years. Additionally, we are 49% shareholder in two joint ventures, each consisting of one Hamburg asset.

For a detailed description of the alstria portfolio, please refer to the annual report 2009.

Transactions

In January 2010, we agreed the terms of a joint venture with the Hamburg-based developer and fund manager Quantum Immobilien AG regarding the reinstatement of the Kaisergalerie at Grosse Bleichen 23-27 in Hamburg. It is the second joint venture between Quantum and alstria as part of the overall strategy to fund organic growth opportunities. This joint venture, which values the building in line with its latest valuation (fair value of EUR 60 m, passing rent EUR 2.8 m), allows us to free up around EUR 14.3 m of liquidity.

Asset management

In the first quarter 2010, our asset management was successful in re-letting vacant areas. In total, alstria signed lease agreements of around 5,000 sqm in the first quarter which represent a significant number of sqm of the total vacancy of the portfolio at year end.

One highlight is the lease-up of the total office space in the 'Alte Post' property. This building is currently under reconstruction and will be finished in the fourth quarter 2011. The office area of around 3,500 sqm will be leased up to a German law firm for a lease length of 10 years.

The other refurbishment projects are still on track and we expect the lease regarding 13,000 sqm with Hamburger Hochbahn AG to start at the end of the second quarter.

The sale of fully let properties and the deconsolidation of the fully let Grosse Bleichen property slightly increased the vacancy rate by 80 bps to 6.5% or 53,500 sqm, which includes strategic vacancy of around 18,300 sqm (intended vacancy implemented by alstria as part of its repositioning process for certain assets), while the remainder is operational vacancy.

Tenants and utilisation

Our key focus on a set number of major tenants is still one of the main characteristics of our portfolio. More than 80% of total revenues are generated by our top nine tenants. The 2010 portfolio also reflects the clear focus on the office asset class. Out of our total lettable area of 820,900 sqm, around 93% is dedicated to offices.

EARNINGS POSITION

Revenues decreased due to asset disposals

In the first quarter of 2010 revenues decreased by 9.9% due to prior year's asset disposals. Revenues amounted to EUR 23,128 k (EUR 25,656 k previous year) with real estate operating expenses of around 7.9% of revenues at EUR 1,820 k (Q1 2009 EUR 2,067 k or 8.1% of revenues). As a consequence of the asset disposals, net rental income decreased by EUR 2,294 k down to EUR 21,295 k compared to the first quarter 2009.

Administrative expenses and personnel expenses remained relatively stable and amounted to EUR 3,084 k for the three months compared to EUR 3,152 k in Q1 2009. Accordingly, total recurring operating expenses amounted to 13.3% of total revenues for the first quarter 2010 (Q1 2009 12.3 percent).

We were able to generate a net profit from asset sales of EUR 6,703 k, which is related to the latest Hamburg portfolio transaction which closed on the March 31, 2010.

alstria closed the first quarter 2010 with a net operating result of EUR 24,962 k. This compares to a net operating result of EUR 8,416 k in the first quarter of the previous year. The significant increase in the net operating result is linked to the one-off valuation change that the company had to book in Q1 2009 (EUR 8,215 k) following the change in the transfer tax rate in Hamburg.

Funds from operations (FFO)1 7,266 8,045

1 FFO is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles, in particular IFRS, and should not be considered as an alternative to the company's income or cash-flow measures as determined in accordance with IFRS. Furthermore, no standard definition exists for FFO. Thus, the FFO or measures with similar names as presented by other companies may not necessarily be comparable to alstria's FFO.

Funds from operations (FFO) were EUR 7,266 k for the reporting period compared to EUR 8,045 k in the first quarter 2009. As a result, FFO per share amounted to EUR 0.13 in the first quarter 2010 which is in line with full year guidance (Q1 2009: EUR 0.14). The reason for the decline is as expected a decrease in revenues (EUR - 2,528 k) due to asset disposals in 2009. These negative effects have been mitigated by a decrease in real estate operating expenses, lower financing cost and in a better other operating result.

The first quarter FFO still includes revenues from the Hamburg assets, which have been disposed in the first quarter 2010, and therefore does not reflect the running rate of the FFO going forward. FFO guidance for the full year remains unchanged at EUR 27 m.

Hedging Instruments

In order to limit the P&L impact from the volatility of interest rate markets, hedge accounting is applied to all hedges that qualify. This allows the loss or gain on the qualifying derivatives to be recognised through the cash flow hedge reserve. (For more details, please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2009).

A decrease of EUR 1,853 k in the first quarter of 2010 represents the effective change in the value of financial derivatives. This change is recorded in the equity in the cash flow hedge reserve (Q1 2009: decrease of EUR 22,877 k). The ineffective impact of changes in the fair value of EUR – 3,517 k is reflected in the income statement. The changes in interest accruals on swaps and caps (EUR 1,383 k) are implemented in the financial result. A loss of EUR 1,856 k relates to the cumulated losses that were reported in equity and for which the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur.

Together, this results in a loss of EUR 5,373 k (Q1 2010: EUR – 1,335 k) which is shown under net loss from fair value adjustments on financial derivatives. Swaps with a nominal amount of EUR 204,765 k were terminated in the first quarter. This resulted in the fair value reduction of financial liabilities out of these swaps by EUR 11,245 k, which equals the cash outflow for the termination of the swaps.

Change

alstria complied with all financial covenants as at March 31, 2010.

Net financing costs decreased by EUR 1,390 k to EUR 11,168 k in comparison with Q1 2009. The decrease is partly attributable to a lower average loan level compared to the previous reporting period, which results from the numerous refinancing activities carried out in 2009 and 2010. On the other hand, terminations of derivatives with comparably high swap rates led to a decrease of average interest costs.

Consolidated net result driven by asset sales

The resulting net profit amounts to EUR 8,374 k for the first quarter 2010 (Q1 2009 EUR 5,477 k loss). The main reason for the increase in the consolidated net result compared to the same period in 2009 is based on the profit on asset disposals of EUR 6,703 k and lower fair value adjustments on investment properties and financial derivatives (Q1 2010 EUR 5,373 k vs. EUR 13,318 k Q1 2009).

The consolidated profit is EUR 0.15 per share for the first

EXISTING LOAN AGREEMENTS AS PER MARCH 31, 2010

three months of 2010, compared to a consolidated loss of EUR 0.10 per share in the same period of 2009.

FINANCIAL AND ASSET POSITION

Financial management

Our financial management is performed at a corporate level, with individual loans being taken out at property and portfolio level. The main goal of our financial policy is the establishment of secured, long-term structures to support the development of its business and to provide the required degree of flexibility. The corporate management of our debt financing forms the basis for harmonised capital procurement, optimised management of interest and liquidity risks and efficiency improvements for the whole Group.

In January 2010, we entered into a new credit facility on a non recourse basis as an additional step towards decreasing the balloon payment of the syndicated loan facility. The credit facility is a EUR 76 m, 7-year non-recourse loan to refinance four properties in Hamburg, Essen and Leipzig with an average lease term of 8 years. The interest rate on this loan is fixed until maturity at 4.62%.

Furthermore, we made a voluntary down payment on our main credit facility of EUR 20 m in order to meet the declared target of the group to keep the LTV ratio of its main syndicated facility close but below 60% on the relevant test date in January 2010. This down payment secures the margin of 85 bps for the next two interest periods.

After the closing of the above mentioned asset sales signed in Q4 2009, and respective debt pay down, the remaining main syndicated loan facility exposure is down to EUR 646 m, which is in line with the group's target.

1 LTV as per covenant test date

Cash position is EUR 114,669 k

Cash flow from operating activities for the three month period amounted to EUR 9,206 k. The increase compared to the first quarter 2009 (EUR 4,932 k) is based on a decrease in working capital and lower interest payments.

The cash flow from investing activities mainly comprises cash inflow resulting from the sale of properties (EUR 82,528 k). A cash outflow of EUR 3,901 k refers to payments for refurbishment measures, tenant incentives and subsequent acquisition costs.

The cash flow from financing activities reflects loan repayments of EUR 230,010 k and payments for the termination of financial derivatives (EUR 11,245 k). Cash inflow of EUR 108,629 k had been received in the course of refinancing. Further EUR 13,546 k cash inflow refers to the repayment of loans granted.

As a result, alstria ended the first quarter 2010 with a cash position of EUR 114,669 k (March 31, 2009: EUR 27,753 k).

Investment properties stable at end of the quarter

Total investment property value amounts to EUR 1,429,341 k in comparison with EUR 1,425,440 k at the beginning of the year. The slight increase is based on capitalized refurbishment measures which relate to the development project in Hamburg, Steinstr. 5-7. Interests in real estate partnerships refer to the at equity consolidation of the Hamburg asset, Grosse Bleichen and the Hamburg asset, 'Alte Post'.

Equity ratio of 40.5% – G-REIT equity ratio at 44.1%

The balance sheet reflects a total equity position of EUR 642,656 k with an equity ratio of 40.5% (December 31, 2009: EUR 634,185 k or 35.9%). The G-REIT equity ratio1 increased by 3.8 pp to 44.1% (December 31, 2009: 40.3%). This development supports our opinion that we will comply with the required G-REIT equity ratio of 45% by year-end.

NNNAV at EUR 11.46 per share

NNNAV (Triple Net Asset Value according to EPRA2 ) increased from EUR 11.32 per share to EUR 11.46 per share. The consolidated profit for the period (EUR 8,374 k) is primarily responsible for the increase in our equity. In total, this leads to an increase in equity from EUR 634,185 k to EUR 642,656 k.

Further decrease of financial debt

Due to the latest transactions, we were able to further reduce the long-term loans by 8.8% to EUR 864,025 k. It is mainly related to selective disposals, the new joint venture and a voluntary prepayment.

Decrease in current liabilities

Current liabilities decreased by 71.9% to EUR 37,697 k, which is mainly linked to the repayment of EUR 91,941 k which have been categorised as short-term loans as Dec. 31, 2009. Other current liabilities amounting to EUR 9,980 k mainly comprise accruals for outstanding invoices (EUR 2,435 k), deferred income (EUR 5,440 k) and other accruals (EUR 1,267 k).

RISK AND OPPORTUNITY REPORT

The risks and opportunities alstria is exposed to are described in detail in the annual report 2009. No changes to the status described have occurred.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OUTLOOK

No significant business activities arose after the balance sheet date until the release of the quarterly report Q1 2010.

Financial guidance

We expect revenues of EUR 89 m and funds from operations (FFO) of EUR 27 m for the year 2010.

10. Employees

In the period from January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2010, on average 34 people (January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009: 31 people on average) were employed by the Company. The average was calculated by the third part of the total of employed people at the end of each month. On March 31, 2010, 35 people (December 31, 2009: 32 people) were employed at alstria office REIT-AG, excluding the management board.

11. Share-based payment

On March 2, 2010, the supervisory board of the Company resolved on the establishment of a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for the members of the management board and granted a first tranche of virtual shares to the management board.

Under the LTIP alstria office REIT-AG grants virtual shares entitling them to receive cash payments after four years.

The amount of the lump sum results from the number of the achieved virtual shares, multiplied with the average stock market price of the Company's shares at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange of the last 60 trading days prior to the relevant maturity date, plus an amount equal to the sum of the dividend per share paid by the company to its shareholders between the grant date and the maturity date, but in no event higher than 250% of the average stock market price of the Company's shares at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange of the last 60 trading days prior to the relevant grant date multiplied with the discretionary factor.

The discretionary factor shall be a multiplier which may vary within a range from 0.8 to 1.2 and is subject to the individual performance of each participant during the respective holding period.

The number of virtual shares that vest will depend with 50% each on the achievement of the alstria share price (absolute total shareholder return) and the relative performance of the alstria share in relation to the EPRA REIT Index Continental Europe (relative total shareholder return).

Since payment per vested virtual share depends on the quoted price of one alstria ordinary share, the quoted price at the end of the reporting period mainly represents the fair value of each virtual share.

At the end of the reporting period 99,009 virtual shares existed that were granted on March 2, 2010 and led to remuneration expenses for the first quarter 2010 in an amount of EUR 19 k, which equals the provision for virtual shares. The Group recognizes the obligation out of the virtual shares under other provisions.

12. Related party relationships

In the reporting period no transaction with related parties took place except for the granting of virtual shares to the members of the management board as described in note 11.

13. Significant events after the end of the reporting period

With regard to the disposal of one property in the first quarter 2010 alstria office REIT-AG agreed to partially terminate the existing swap of EUR 100,000 k by EUR 52,100 k. The transaction became effective as at April 20, 2010.
