Company Information

Subtitle: Purchase of a land plot of around 9,000 m² in Potsdam /
Creation of 388 student apartments directly next to campus

Frankfurt am Main (euro adhoc) - YOUNIQ AG, the leading provider of
high-quality student apartments in Germany, has acquired an
undeveloped plot of land of around 9,000 m² in Potsdam along with
planning permission. A total of 388 new apartments with around 7,760
m² of rentable space are to be created in the Kiepenheuerallee
directly next to the campus, entailing EUR 26 million of investment
volume.

The project is due to be completed and rented prospectively by 2013.
The apartments, which comprise 20 m² on average, are fully furnished,
and are to be rented on an all-inclusive basis, in other words,
including all incidental costs such as Internet and cable connection.
Along with its favourable location, the site also stands out due to
its direct street tram link to the city centre. YOUNIQ AG is
increasing the number of apartments that it manages or is in the
process of creating to a total of 2,841 units as a result of this new
project in Potsdam.

Potsdam is one of Germany's most attractive cities for student living
according to a survey conducted by Savills. More than 23,000 students
are currently enrolled at the University of Potsdam and at the
University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. The number of students grew
by 28% over the last eight years. Since the "Studentenwerke"
(semi-governmental providers of student services) currently meet only
around 9.5% of demand for student accommodation, Rainer Nonnengässer,
the CEO of YOUNIQ AG, believes there is attractive potential scope
here: "Potsdam offers us ideal conditions to successfully implement
our YOUNIQ concept. As a result of securing this acquisition, we are
now already present at ten locations in Germany. We are optimistic
that we will further extend our leading market position with even
more purchases over the coming weeks."
