» Significant scope for rent potential to widen further in Berlin

Replacement costs Affordability

  • Average replacement costs > EUR 3,500 per sqm, predominately driven by increase of prices for land plots
  • Replacement costs at 1.7x DW Berlin book value
  • New construction requires at least EUR 12 per sqm/ month to allow for 3.5% gross yield1)
  • Demand supply shortage expected to continue
  • Current shortage of c. 100,000 units; expected to grow to > 200,000 units by 2030
  • New supply at current run rate of c. 14,000 units (thereof ~40% condominiums) is not sufficient

For pick-up of new construction activity further increase of market rents required

1) Given development of replacement cost and social quota as part of zoning process

2) Source: Committee on Berlin Property Values (Gutachterausschuss Bodenrichtwerte)

3) Market rent for fully refurbished apartments in Berlin

  • Average DW apartment size of only 60 sqm offers competitive advantage in terms of affordability
  • Increasing demand from 1-2 person(s) households
  • Based on average DW in-place rent of EUR 6.52 per sqm and including ancillary costs average monthly rent appears affordable with EUR ~540
  • Market rent for fully refurbished apartment leading to average monthly rent of EUR ~810

Examples for rents in Berlin

Berlin rent levels screen well from an affordability perspective

» Re-letting rents continue to outpace in-place rents

Total rent potential for entire portfolio (incl. effects of capex program) stable at EUR 230m; unlocking that rent potential as key driver for organic NAV growth

Spread between in-place and market multiples significantly widened over the last 5 years, implying significant further value upside potential over the coming years

» Current level of rents and prices offer significant growth potential

2)

  • Dynamic development of residential rents and prices for German top cities, based on strong demographic trends and fundamentals
  • Deutsche Wohnen portfolio offers catch-up potential for rents and values
  • CBRE's asking prices for multifamily housing are c. 27% above Deutsche Wohnen Fair Value per sqm
  • CBRE asking rents c. 16% above current re-letting rent of Deutsche Wohnen portfolio in Berlin
