Company Information
Frankfurt am Main (euro adhoc) - - Purchase of a land plot of around 7,700 m² in
Mainz
- Creation of 395 student apartments directly next to university
Frankfurt am Main, June 21, 2011 - Following the successful conclusion of its
capital increase, YOUNIQ AG, one of the leading providers of high quality
student apartments in Germany, is pushing further ahead with the implementation
of its project pipeline. The company has acquired an undeveloped plot of land
close to the university from Wohnbau Mainz GmbH with a notary purchase
agreement. The "YOUNIQ Mainz" project entailing a total of 395 apartments is to
be created on an area of around 7,700 m² at Wallstrasse 31-37.
Locational benefits of the "YOUNIQ Mainz" development include proximity to both
the university campus and public transport connections at Mainz Central Railway
Station. Shops offering daily requirements can also be found within easy
walking distance. YOUNIQ AG plans to rent fully furnished apartments based on
its tried and tested all-in standard. This comprises all incidental costs
including Internet and cable connections. The new project in Mainz boosts the
number of apartments that are either being managed or are under construction to
around 2,200 units, thereby further strengthening YOUNIQ's market-leading
position in Germany.
Rainer Nonnengässer, CEO of YOUNIQ AG, expressed his great pleasure at the newly
acquired site in the Rhine-Main region as follows: "With almost 40,000 students,
a high quality of life, and a shortage of apartments, Mainz comprises a highly
attractive location for us. We are confident that we will shortly report on
further acquisitions, and thereby continue to consistently pursue our growth
strategy."
