Investment Strategy

Union Investment Real Estate AG invests primarily in commercial property in the service and retail sectors. Risk is minimised by pursuing a careful policy of diversification in terms of property types, uses, tenants and lease lengths, and investing across various countries, regions, locations and industries. The Union Investment Real Estate AG funds’ property holdings therefore include office and business premises, as well as hotels, business parks, shopping centres and CityQuartier/StadtQuartier developments

When making investments Union Investment Real Estate AG focuses on prime, sought-after sites in locations with development potential: major cities in Germany and in Europe, and selected regions outside Europe. Besides acquiring properties directly, Union Investment Real Estate AG has a stake in a number of property companies.
The fund portfolios are reviewed on an ongoing basis in line with market requirements and trends. This process also includes modernising and restructuring properties.
