Branicks Group AG: New and follow-up lettings in Frankfurt's trade fair and banking district

• Letting of 6,500 square metres of office space to tenants from the financial sector
• Sustainability certificates and property quality strong criteria for tenants
• Clear trend towards back to office

Frankfurt am Main, 25 June 2024: Branicks Group AG ("Branicks"), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, one of Germany's leading listed real estate companies, has concluded new and follow-up leases for office space in Frankfurt with three premium tenants from the financial sector.

A major bank, which already occupies a large amount of space in Frankfurt's IBC in City West, has leased an additional 2,480 square metres of office space with a contract term of seven years.

In the Eurotheum and the Garden Tower, follow-up contracts with a three-year lease term were concluded with existing tenants for around 2,000 square metres of office space in each case. The lettings confirm the increasingly recognizable back-to-office trend in the Frankfurt property market and the great interest on the market in our high-quality office space. 

"With our many years of expertise in asset management and a clear focus on the requirements of contemporary office properties, we meet the needs of discerning tenants. ESG requirements and customized office concepts flank the strategy of many employers to increasingly win back their employees for an office presence," says Christian Fritzsche, Member of the Executive Board and Chief Operating Officer at Branicks.

It has a total of 82,000 square metres of office space and has been awarded the LEED Platinum sustainability certificate. The main users of the IBC are well-known financial institutions.
