Our excellence is in the details
König & Cie. Real Estate focuses on exclusive real estates: properties of manageable size in selected locations and with excellent tenants as well as stable earnings.
With its four Dutch real estate funds König & Cie. has established itself as funds initiator in the Dutch real estate market and thus has successfully transferred the other asset classes' quality standards to its real estate business.
The reorientation of the business segment in 2005 has let to a focus on German, Dutch and US real estate markets. Because our investors expectations concerning rate of return and effective earnings are mainly based on former realized profits these very markets are in the current market environment highly challenging for direct investments.
Nevertheless our American König & Cie. Mezzanine-Opportunity US I benefits from the changed market conditions caused by the US subprime crisis. Due to first returns König & Cie. is - earlier than previously planned - able to refund 5% interest pro rata temporis for the entire investors' capital contributions.
Aside from location the principle of "quality not quantity" is crucial to König & Cie. which is why we are constantly checking investments in other locations in Western Europe and North America. Moreover we concentrate presently on emerging markets like India. König & Cie. currently establishes a subsidiary in India (Mumbai) to be locally present with local real estate experts. With EKTA-Group König & Cie. could already acquire a competent partner for future projects.
Our check list is highly discriminating.
Is the property suitable for a variety of uses? Is it professionally and reliably administered?
Are the fittings, etc. appropriate? Is the purchase price factor correct?
Are foreign exchange risks foreseeable? Is the infrastructure in order?
How far away is the next large city, the nearest airport?
Is an upswing apparent in the region? Are the factors relating to market conditions acceptable?
Are enterprises ready to invest in this country? Is the property market secure and stable?
Is the property let well? Is the tenant solvent?
Is that true only today or only just recently or will tomorrow also offer continued security?
But here again, we only invest if, after carefully checking a property, it is clear that everything is just right.
