HIH Achieves Full Occupancy at HanseForum by Letting to BNP Paribas and Microsoft

Hamburg, 25 January – HIH Real Estate signed leases for two units at HanseForum in Hamburg, thereby achieving full occupancy for the scheme’s office accommodation. A unit of roughly 600 square metres was let on a long-term lease to BNP Paribas Real Estate Holding GmbH, which operates its property management division in the building. For the other rental unit, which extends over about 1,050 square metres, a lease was signed with Microsoft Deutschland GmbH, also over a lengthy term. On the tenant side, the lease deal of Microsoft was facilitated by Jones Lang LaSalle Hamburg.

Warburg-HIH Invest had acquired the HanseForum for two of its investment funds, “Top 7 Deutsche Metropolen Immobilien Invest” and “Deutschland Selektiv Immobilien Invest,” in August of last year. “The successful lettings after such a short period of time highlight the benefits of networking within the HIH Group and simultaneously demonstrate the vertical integration of our real estate investment management,” said Ken Kuhnke, Head of Letting Management at HIH Real Estate.

„Der Einkauf von Strom aus erneuerbaren Energien ist ein wesentliches Element der Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie der Warburg-HIH Invest. Nach der bereits angelaufenen Umstellung des Deutschlandportfolios werden wir nun die internationalen Immobilien sukzessive mit Ökostrom versorgen. Mit Westbridge haben wir einen international gut vernetzten Partner, der uns hilft, Potenziale beim nachhaltigen Energieeinkauf zu identifizieren und umzusetzen.“
