Management comments on the interim report
In connection with the interim report for H1 2024, CEO Pradeep Pattem states the following:
“Park Street group has signed over 180 new leases with yearly rent of DKK 33.7m in the H1 2024 marking it as one of the most active periods ever for leasing. The primary driver of this activity is Pulse N which is now fully launched and Pulse O where we have signed long term leases with a premier Danish educational institution.
We have made further progress with our strategic intent of reducing property portfolio in non-core regions and sectors with sale of 5 properties completed in H1 2024 reducing significantly our exposure to the Office segment. We expect to continue the process of asset disposals across Retail segment and assets in regional locations over the next 12 to 18 months.
Park Street has completed a significant buyback program in H1 2024 in line with its ambition to simplify the capital structure. We will continue to work on long term mortgage refinancing of Pulse properties, further simplification of company and capital structure to reduce non-operating overheads.
At Park Street we are committed to technology driven property management. Tech and design led approach to manage properties will be core to our commitment towards a sustainable and collaborative approach to property ownership.”
