Cromwell European REIT net property income up 11.4% to $102.49m

Its income was driven by higher revenue from freshly acquired assets in Italy, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.

Cromwell European Real Investment Trust (CEREIT) announced a net property income of €64.3m (approximately $102.49m) for the first half (H1) of 2021.

This is 11.4% higher than the €57.72m (approximately $92m) for the same period last year.

Its income was driven by higher revenue from freshly acquired assets in Italy, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

“CEREIT’s quality diversified portfolio has supported its income resilience, maintaining a high portfolio occupancy at 94.9%. The second quarter saw a substantial pick-up in leasing activities which resulted in +10% rent reversion, leading to an overall +5.9% rent reversion in H1 2021, partly reflecting the +13.7% year-on-year Eurozone gross domestic product growth for the second quarter 2021,” said CEREIT CEO Simon Garing in a bourse disclosure.

It expects rents to remain stable in the European office sector and logistics demand to continue to rise.

“The H1 2021 results reaffirm our positive outlook towards the continuing strength of the light industrial/logistics segment, based on the structural shift towards e-commerce and global trade soon to re-emerge. This supports CEREIT’s current pivot towards a 50% portfolio weighting to the light industrial/logistics sector. With high cash holdings and access to substantial funding, we look forward to securing further attractive acquisitions,” Garing said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
