Phoenix Spree Deutschland Limited
(the "Company", the "Group" or "PSD")
Sale of Multi-Family Property and Condominiums
Phoenix Spree Deutschland Limited (LSE: PSDL.LN), the UK-listed investment company specialising in Berlin residential real estate, announces the sale of a multi-family property and further sales of condominiums.
The Company has notarised the sale of Donaustrasse, Neukoln for €4.8m, a value of €2,249 per sqm or a 2.6 per cent discount to the purchase price. The property was recently acquired (notarised for purchase in September 2022) and the sale price reflects the significant investment required to modernise the property.
The Company is also pleased to announce the notarisation for sale of two further condominium properties. A vacant unit in Zillestrasse was sold for €426,600 in a bare shell condition (€4,750 per sqm and a 9.5 per cent premium to book value), while a rented unit in Fregestrasse was sold for €298,000 (€3,401 per sqm at a 19.6 per cent discount to book value). The Company has pending reservations for a further four units representing a combined sales volume of €1.33m and a value per sqm of €3,941. It is expected these reservations will be notarised within the next six weeks.
Proceeds from these asset sales will be used to repay debt and for investment in the condominium portfolio in order to prepare assets for sale.
The condominium transaction values outlined above compare with the Company's current share price, which implies a Portfolio valuation per sqm of under €2,500 and a discount to the most recently published EPRA NTA of 64%. As announced in the recent trading update, the Company is examining strategic options, which will allow for a significant increase in the number of individual units which can be made available for sale in the future. With over 1,900 units, representing 77 per cent of the Portfolio, now split as condominiums, PSD is uniquely placed in the listed marketplace to benefit from the valuation premium that condominium units command versus their rental equivalents.
Full Year Results
The Company will report its full-year results, together with a comprehensive update on its condominium strategy, on 30 April 2024.
