MPC Capital: ESG Core Wohnimmobilien Deutschland Fund acquires next project

Hamburg, 3 November 2021 – The ESG Core Wohnimmobilien Deutschland fund initiated by MPC Capital (Deutsche Börse Scale, ISIN DE000A1TNWJ4) has purchased another property. The apartment building is located in one of the best residential areas in Münster in the Sankt Mauritz district. The building has 48 residential units between one and four rooms, comprises around 2,520 square metres of living space and was newly built or refurbished in accordance with the KfW 55 energy standard. The property is already fully let. The total investment is EUR 13 million.

The special AIF (Alternative Investment Fund) ESG Core Wohnimmobilien Deutschland is one of the first financial products in the real estate asset class in Germany to be authorised as a financial product under Article 8 of the Disclosure Regulation. The EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which came into force in March 2021, is intended to lead to more transparency in the European market for financial products with regard to sustainability issues. Funds that take into account environmental and social characteristics as well as good corporate governance (ESG), among other things, will be certified as so-called Article 8 products. 

ESG Core Wohnimmobilien Deutschland was launched together with Universal-Investment as an open-ended special AIF. The fund is to comprise a total investment volume of more than EUR 300 million and invest in a targeted manner in real estate projects that consistently meet a comprehensive catalogue of ESG criteria.

The central investment criterion of the fund is the development of a sustainable residential real estate portfolio. By using a scoring model developed specifically for this fund, target properties are identified that meet a number of quantitative and qualitative sustainability criteria, also along relevant UN sustainability goals.
