- Hamborner REIT AG is a stock exchange-listed public limited company headquartered in Duisburg, Germany, that operates exclusively as a portfolio holder for high-yield commercial properties across Germany; founded in 1953, it generates sustainable rental income from a diversified portfolio valued at around €1.4 billion, focusing on modern office properties in established locations and attractive local supply retail properties including large-scale retail assets, retail parks, retail centers, and DIY stores in city-centre locations, district centres, and highly frequented edge-of-town sites in major German cities and mid-sized centres. The company, listed in the SDAX under ticker HABA.DE with ISIN DE000A3H2333, benefits from REIT status with corporation and trade tax exemption, emphasizing core properties with high-quality locations and long-term leases primarily in metropolitan regions with strong economic and demographic prospects; rental income derives mainly from retail properties alongside office assets, supported by a lean corporate structure and active portfolio management involving acquisitions of larger properties and disposals of smaller ones for regional diversification. In recent developments, Hamborner REIT AG completed property disposals including a retail property in Lübeck and an office property in Osnabrück in early 2025, signed contracts for approximately 12,400 m² of rental space in the first half of 2025 with a 95% retention rate, and raised its full-year 2025 guidance for income from rents and leases to €89.5 million to €90.5 million alongside funds from operations of €44.0 million to €46.0 million, while maintaining a solid REIT equity ratio of 55.0% and EPRA loan-to-value of 44.3% as of June 30, 2025.
