The success of our company lies in our shopping centers. We have 19 centers, each of which is unique. Of these, 16 are located in Germany, with one each in Austria, Poland and Hungary. Together, they contain 2,373 shops on an area covering 946,800m². The Altmarkt-Galerie is situated right in the heart of Dresden. The Zwinger and Frauen- kirche are only minutes away on foot. particular highlight is our retail occupancy rate of 99% on average. This figure provides a simple and concise insight into the quality of our portfolio. We are particularly proud of the fact that we have been able to maintain this figure at a consistently high level since our company came into being. Our investments are squarely focused on Germany, which accounts for 91%.

And when you add retail into the equation, location is more than an attribute; it is quite simply the basis for success. Our tenants naturally want to be where their customers expect them to be. They and their shoppers can be sure that each of our 19 shopping centers is a prime location for them. Most of our properties are situated in city centers: places where people have been coming together for hundreds of years to meet and sell their wares. In many cases our centers are immediately adjacent to local pedestrian zones. A Our portfolio also includes shop- ping centers in established out- of-town locations. These centers with their excellent transport links have offered visitors and customers a welcome change for many years, in some cases even replace city shopping expeditions altogether and frequently have a strong pull beyond the immedi- ate region. Always conveniently accessible Whether in the city center or out- side the city gates: we give par- ticular priority to transport links for each of our properties. In cities, we like to be close to pub- lic transport hubs. In Hameln and Passau, for example, our centers are right next to the main bus stations. Our properties in Nor- derstedt and Hamburg-Billstedt are directly above or adjacent to metro stations. All our shopping centers also have their own parking facilities, offering visitors and customers convenient and af- fordable parking, even in city centers, and ensuring optimum accessibility by car, too. Our out- of-town properties offer a huge number of free parking spaces. These particular locations are alongside motorways, making them very easy to reach, such as the A10 Center in Wildau on the A10 (Berlin ring road) or the Main-Taunus-Zentrum in Sulz- bach on the A66. Parking spaces reserved for women and people with disabilities are offered as part of our service at all our shop- ping centers.
