Project description

The underlying value of this proposition consists of 52 flats and 84 garages/parking spaces. The property is located in the city of Worms. The flats have a total lettable floor area of 4,410 m². The appraiser assessed the maintenance condition of the properties as good.

The flats are located at Am Krankenhaus 18, 20 & 22 and Scipiostraße 11 and were built in 1994. Worms has around 84,000 inhabitants and is located in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Nearby cities include Frankenthal (about 11 km), Mannheim (about 22 km) and Frankfurt am Main (about 72 km). The object of this proposition is located in the Herrnsheim district of Worms with all daily amenities within walking distance.

Market description

Germany has a solid rental market. More than half of the German housing market consists of rental properties. Rental prices are still relatively low in many places compared to the Netherlands, making Germans more likely to prefer renting to home ownership. Tenants in Germany are also known for their Gründlichkeit, thoroughness.

As in the Netherlands, the average household size in Germany is declining. The individualisation of society and an ageing population play a major role in this. As a result, there is an increasing demand for smaller rental properties. The properties in the proposition meet this demand.

End user

Rental income from the property is currently around €471,000 per year. This with the current occupancy rate of 100%. The average monthly rent of the property in Worms is €8.91 per sqm. The average monthly market rent for comparable properties is approximately € 9.10 per m² according to the valuer in Worms. The contract rent is therefore in line with the market.

Underlying organisation

The loan will be granted to the promoter Orthos Wohnen Portfolio 4 GmbH. This property company is part of Munich-based Omega AG. Initiator Omega has a large-scale residential property portfolio consisting of around 7,000 units spread across Germany.

The initiator has built up an extensive track record and has a property portfolio of around 7,000 units spread across Germany. Its activities focus mainly on residential real estate across Germany. In addition, advisory and asset management work is carried out for institutional real estate investors.

The promoter successfully funded the propositions 'Residential Stralsund I' and 'Residential Stralsund II' at the end of last year and 'Aparthotel Frankfurt I' and 'Aparthotel Frankfurt II' earlier this year via Crowdrealestate. These propositions are running as forecast.
