Montano Real Estate GmbH with EUR 1.1 billion transaction volume in 2021 – Increase of 300% compared to previous year – Expansion of the business model and strong anchor investor as basis for ambitious growth targets in 2022 Munich, 31 January 2022 – Montano Real Estate GmbH (“Montano”, www.montano.eu), one of the leading independent investment specialists in the German commercial real estate market, has closed the financial year 2021 with a transaction volume of EUR 1.1 billion. This corresponds to a fourfold increase in volume compared to 2020 (EUR 275 million). One of the transaction highlights in the asset classes actively managed by Montano – office, retail, light industrial, logistics and public infrastructure – was the successful sale of the Munich landmark property “Uptown Munich”, the city’s tallest office building. Other successful transactions include the Easten property at the main railway station in Düsseldorf and the acquisition of an office property in North Rhine-Westphalia with a volume of EUR 70 million, which is the first transaction Montano has added to its own balance sheet. In September 2021, Montano also agreed on a partnership with the global investment manager Carlyle to jointly invest in logistics properties with a focus on distribution properties in prime locations close to cities in Germany. As part of this partnership, Montano will be entrusted with the asset management of an existing portfolio of twelve logistics properties in Germany. Together, the portfolio is to be expanded to a value of EUR 500 million over the next few years. In total, Montano was able to win new asset management mandates amounting to EUR 280 million in the past financial year. The value of assets under management at the end of the financial year was EUR 1.55 billion. In asset management, 35 leases for a total of 65,000 sqm were concluded last year. “We were very successful in our core business in the past financial year and even exceeded our ambitious targets,” said Montano founder and Managing Partner Ramin Rabeian. “To capitalise on this momentum, we have expanded our management and business model. A promising new pillar of our business in the future will be the conception and distribution of our own investment products. To this end, we want to acquire attractive core properties ourselves and offer them to institutional investors in Germany via regulated investment products.” With Thomas H. Pohlmann, Montano was able to gain a proven expert in the sale of regulated investment products in December 2021. Pohlmann strengthens the Montano management team around the two founders Ramin Rabeian and Sebastian Schöberl. He was previously Head of Institutional Sales & Investors Relations at BNP Paribas REIM and will be responsible for fund placement and equity capital raising at Montano. Montano has not only strengthened its personnel but also its capital base in the past financial year. After TTL Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz-AG (“TTL”, ISIN DE0007501009) had already acquired a 30% stake in Montano in December 2020, the share was increased to 50% in May 2021. With TTL as a strong anchor investor and the funds raised through the capital increase, the company has a substantial basis for its ambitious growth targets. The launch of two special real estate funds and the expansion of existing individual mandates are planned for the current financial year. Montano expects a transaction volume of over EUR 1 billion in 2022. The medium-term goal of increasing assets under management to EUR 6-8 billion by 2025 remains in place. For the financial year 2021, Montano will also publish an annual report for the first time, thus taking into account the increased need of investors for more transparency. Publication is planned for February 2022. About Montano Real Estate
