- HAMBORNER REIT AG is a public limited company listed in the SDAX that operates exclusively in the real estate sector as a portfolio holder and asset manager of high-yield commercial properties throughout Germany. The company generates sustainable rental income from a diversified portfolio valued at approximately €1.4 billion, focusing on modern office properties in established locations; attractive local supply retail properties including large-scale retail assets, retail parks, and DIY stores in city-centre locations, district centres, and highly frequented edge-of-town sites in large and medium-sized German cities. Founded in 1953 and headquartered in Duisburg, Germany, HAMBORNER REIT AG benefits from its status as a registered real estate investment trust with exemption from corporation and trade tax at the company level.
In recent developments, the company completed the sale and transfer of ownership of select properties in early 2025, including the retail property Haerder Center in Lübeck and an office property in Osnabrück, aligning with its strategic shift to focus more strongly on properties with local supply characteristics while divesting from high street assets. Fair value adjustments were applied to four office and retail properties as of June 30, 2025, resulting in a €7.3 million or 0.5% decline primarily due to changes in location and rental situations, conducted in consultation with external appraisers. HAMBORNER REIT AG reaffirmed its full-year 2025 earnings forecast in quarterly reports through Q3, anticipating rental income of €89.5 million to €90.5 million and funds from operations (FFO) of €44.0 million to €46.0 million, supported by a solid REIT equity ratio of 55.0% and EPRA loan-to-value of 44.3% as of mid-2025.
