About DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG

Leading holder of commercial real estate

DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG is transforming itself into a leading holder of German commercial real estate. The core business activities of the Frankfurt/Main- headquartered real estate group consist of the acquisition, the management and the rental of commercial real estate and their further development, for example, through modification, modernisation or expansion, and increasing their value through their active portfolio management.

As of the end of July 2015, the commercial property portfolio consisted of more than 810,000 m2 of rentable space that mainly comprised office, logistics and retail properties. Annualised net rent excluding utilities amounts to approximately EUR 52.2 million.
