alstria office REIT-AG is a German stock corporation in the legal form of a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), which invests in office real estate in the major German economic centers. REITs are long-term portfolio holders of real estate assets and are characterized by solid balance sheet structures and high payout ratios.

From the acquisition to letting, ongoing management, modernization up to the possible sale we possess all expertise around the property.
Our corporate strategy is based on three pillars:
LETTING
We hold real estate for long-term letting. In this way, we achieve stable and predictable rental income that generates steady corporate profits. This profit is the foundation for the distribution of attractive long-term dividends to our shareholders.
MODERNIZATION
We continuously invest in the quality of our properties and create modern office space that will remain attractive for our tenants in the long term. The continuous quality improvement increases the company value permanently.
GROWTH
Through selective acquisitions, we continuously expand our portfolio and generate steady corporate growth. The increase and optimization of our portfolio furthermore creates synergies in the management of our assets.
alstria owns and manages a high-quality portfolio of office properties in the major German office centers. Due to our local presence and many years of experience, our team has in-depth market knowledge and develops detailed concepts for each individual building. Modernizing the properties is an substantial part of our integrated business model, on the basis of which we create consistent value.
We have a solid balance sheet, access to various sources of finance and our business model is very profitable. In recent years, we have built a strong reputation in the capital markets through transparent, reliable and continuous communication and positioned alstria as a solid investment target for investors.
Committed, qualified and motivated employees are the basis of a successful company. We offer real estate experts, merchants, architects, engineers, designers and many other professions opportunities for their personal development. Our culture is entrepreneurial and collegial, with the aim of exceeding our own expectations.
