DIC Asset AG: “Uptown Tower” and “Campus C” meet Green Building standard

• “Uptown Tower” and “Campus C” awarded “Very Good” BREEAM In-Use rating
• Number of green buildings in Commercial Portfolio keeps growing
• ESG strategy implemented as planned in both segments

Frankfurt am Main, 6 September 2022. A few days ago, DIC Asset AG (“DIC”), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, one of Germany’s leading listed property companies, received green building certificates for the “Uptown Tower” and “Campus C,” two properties the company acquired in Munich last year. As expected, they achieved the “Very Good” BREEAM In-Use level offered by the international sustainability label. This brings the number of green buildings in the proprietary portfolio up to six. The “Uptown Tower” was placed with a group of institutional investors near the end of 2021.

“We don’t compromise in terms of sustainability. We develop our portfolio consistently along ESG lines and see ourselves as an innovative pacesetter for our industry in this context. We just developed another two properties that scored a ‘very good’ sustainability rating. These certificates demonstrate that we generate value for our stakeholders and for the benefit of the environment. When it comes to responsibility, you can rely on DIC,” commented Sonja Wärntges, CEO of DIC.

More details on the properties:

With its 37 storeys, the “Uptown Tower” is considered the highest building in Bavaria. Standing 146 metres tall, it is a signature feature of Munich’s skyline. The property, which occupies a highly attractive office location, is fully occupied by Telefónica Deutschland. The “Campus C” scheme in the immediate vicinity of the high-rise has a lettable area of 9,200 sqm and is used by DIC’s subsidiary DIC Onsite GmbH as regional office, among other tenants. In the owner-occupied sub-areas of the building, DIC implemented a modern New Work concept.
