Event summary
- DEMIRE signed a lease with the UN for ~10,000 m² in Bonn's Reuterstraße 65 property.
- The space will be occupied from autumn 2026 as part of Bonn's expansion as a UN hub.
- Public-sector tenants contribute ~25% of DEMIRE’s annual rental income.
- DEMIRE has repositioned the property as multi-tenant after Deutsche Telekom's partial departure.
The big picture
DEMIRE's lease with the UN reinforces Bonn’s growing significance as a UN hub, while diversifying its tenant base post-Deutsche Telekom. The deal underscores the stability of public-sector leases in DEMIRE’s portfolio, which accounts for ~25% of rental income. As DEMIRE expands its portfolio (~EUR 0.9B market value), securing high-profile tenants like the UN strengthens its long-term income base and risk-adjusted returns.
