Immobilien: LEG-Mieten steigen – doch die Gewinne fallen

Düsseldorf-based real estate firm LEG reported a rise in rents and property values in the first half of the year, driven by sustained demand for housing in urban areas. The company's revenues from net cold rent increased by 3.4 percent year-on-year to 473.4 million euros. The rent per square meter rose from 7.15 euros to 7.21 euros across the company's comparable property portfolio.

LEG expects rents to rise further by 3.8 to 4.0 percent on a comparable basis this year, outpacing the 2025 growth rate. The company's property valuation also rose by 0.7 percent during the period. Despite the positive outlook, LEG's operational performance in the first half of the year remains in the red.
