Positive Outlook for 2017 confirmed
In consideration of the company's ongoing strong development the management board confirmed its positive outlook for the financial year 2017. 'We are positive that ADO Properties will continue to increase the value of its assets, its NAV and NAV per share by generating significant rental growth in the future', says Rabin Savion, CEO of ADO Properties. 'We anticipate our like-for-like rental growth for 2017 to be approximately 5% and our 2017 year-end FFO 1 run rate to be at least EUR 60 million after deploying our cash position by the end of the year. This positive outlook is based on the very positive macroeconomic outlook for residential investments in Berlin, first of all the above-average economic growth, the increasing household incomes, the lower unemployment and the rising rent index especially in the inner-city-areas favoured by young urban professionals.'
