Redevelopments and asset upgrades

The Fund completed the construction work to optimise the PC Hooftstraat 125 asset in Amsterdam. The Fund closed a new lease with high-fashion retailer Filippa K.

The Fund signed a letter of intent for a lease with an international retailer for Lijnbaan 111 in Rotterdam. Part of this agreement is the realisation of a new façade for this unit and adjustments to the layout. The Fund has had an architectural design drawn up for this and submitted a permit application.

Expiry dates

The overview of expiry dates shows a gradual division in the coming years. By the end of 2022, 39.3% of the total rental income was due to expire after 2027, which means the Fund's expiration risk remains low. The average remaining lease term of the total portfolio was 5.8 years at year-end 2022 (2021: 6.0 years).

Financial occupancy

Despite the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, combined with uncertainties triggered by the geopolitical and economic effects of the war in Ukraine and rising interest rates, the Fund managed to increase the financial occupancy to a record high in 2022. The Fund's average occupancy rate increased to 97.1% from 96.6% in 2021.
