Emma: Extension of the Aurora Portfolio's Financing Until 2030

Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP (BCLP) advised Landesbank Hessen-Thringen Girozentrale (Helaba) and Berlin Hyp AG on the early extension of the financing for the Emma portfolio, a substantial real estate holding of Aurelis Real Estate GmbH. The Emma portfolio, comprising 46 properties across nine federal states in Germany, including major cities such as Munich, Nuremberg, Rhine-Ruhr, and Stuttgart, spans diverse segments such as industrial, office, and logistics properties. The financing, initially set to expire at the end of 2026, has now been extended to November 2030, securing a mid-three-digit million euro amount in financing volume. Beiing a specialist in project development and asset management, Aurelis engages in developing and managing commercial properties, ensuring the portfolio's value grows over time. The refinancing provides significant financial planning security amid challenging market conditions, as noted by Dr. Jan Peter Annecke, Head of Real Estate Finance. Oliver Hecht, Head of Domestic Sales, Berlin Hyp, expressed trust and optimism for continued partnership with Aurelis. The legal team from BCLP was led by Partner Frank Schwem, supported by Counsel Tony Sparing, Associates Dr. Zsuzsanna Somogyi-Csizmazia, LL.M., Katerina Diamantopoulou, and Transactions Manager Romy Damm.
