The newly acquired properties are going to be consolidated at a fair market value of approx. EUR 36m, marking a growth of 13% compared to Fair Value’s total property portfolio as of 31 March 2015.

The portfolio comprises of two regional shopping centers in Querfurt and Zittau as well as a retirement home in Radevormwald.
