1 In H1 already 982 units released. 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 = 2021-2025; 6-10 years = 2026-2030; >10 years = 2031ff. 4 Rent upside is defined as the difference between LEG in-place rent and market. 5 For example rent increase cap of 15% or 20% for three years.
