The German economy posted a Q1 GDP growth of 2.1%, ahead of the annual forecast of 1.8% for 2014 Domestic demand represent the key driver for growth
Liquid and scalable real estate market
Germany remains one of the most highly sought after real estate investment markets in Europe In Q1/14, the total investment volume for commercial real estate reached €9.9 billion, a y/y increase of 47%

Big 7 Prime Yield to German 10-yr Bond Spread
Current Spread Historical Average Spread
Healthy spreads exist between the German prime yield and Government and corporate bond yields (see top graph). Generally, BBB corporate bonds are a good predictor of the future yields in real estate, as it has a similar risk appetite. Currently, spreads between the prime yields in the Big 7 office markets and the German 10-year government bond yield is ~325 bps, higher than the 10-year historical spread average of ~220 bps (see bottom graph). In this environment, Dream Global is well positioned to continue to acquire assets at attractive spreads.

The Current Opportunity
Dream Global REIT is currently generating an 8.2% cash yield. We maintain a strong, active acquisition pipeline and continue to stay disciplined in our approach to enhance scale and diversity within the REIT. We intend to continue our evolution to build towards a high quality office portfolio. Our success in building strong, long-lasting relationships with our German lenders allows us to continue to achieve highly attractive spreads between cap rates and mortgage rates on new acquisitions. We have materially improved the quality and stability of our cash flows in our portfolio and
- ur key markets since our IPO. Our distributions remain fully hedged for our investors.
Our management team/platform has an exceptional track record of finding and creating
- pportunities and generating attractive returns.
Potential strategic JV opportunities may leverage our expertise to source and manage high quality office properties in Germany.

Value Creation – Darmstadt
Upon Acquisition
Darmstadt was one of the largest buildings in the initial portfolio. Subsequent to the DP termination, we leased a portion of the space and worked quickly to transform the interior and exterior of the building to enhance the appeal of the asset to prospective tenants. In Q1 2014, we leased an additional 72k sf at a term of 10 years and at an average rent that is almost 30% better than former DP rents. The tenant is a large educational institution with strong solvency
- rating. The asset is now almost fully leased. With our leasing efforts
at Darmstadt, we expect the value of the asset to have increased by 30 – 40%.

Upon Acquisition After DP Termination Today
Another example of a large and successful repositioning project is our 170k sf
- ffice property in Bremen. After Deutsche Post terminated space in 2012, the
- ccupancy dropped to 70%. Our leasing team aggressively marketed the space,
upgrading both the front entrance and the lobby. These transformations have helped in leasing the space to a wide range of tenants, including 33,000 sf to the City of Bremen. Today, the property is 94% leased with an average term of 9 years – with higher income, longer lease terms and a better tenant mix driving cap rate compression and value appreciation.
