What Sirius Real Estate does

Sirius Real Estate Limited is a publicly listed Real Estate Investment Trust (ticker: SRE) incorporated in Guernsey and dual-listed on the London Stock Exchange (FTSE 250) and Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Founded in February 2007 and listed on AIM in May 2007, the company owns and operates a diversified portfolio of 154 business parks, offices and mixed-use workspaces — 78 properties across Germany's big seven cities and key border towns (over 2.48 million sqm) under the Sirius brand, and 76 BizSpace sites across the UK (0.767 million sqm). The portfolio serves a fragmented customer base of approximately 11,736 tenants, predominantly SMEs alongside selected blue-chip corporates and defence-sector occupiers, with multi-let leases generating recurring rental income.

The operating model integrates acquisition, intensive capital investment, active asset management and hands-on tenant engagement through a fully internalised in-house platform with local teams supported by central systems. Sirius Facilities GmbH manages the German portfolio and BizSpace Limited manages the UK portfolio, with a Titanium joint venture (35% interest with AXA IM Alts/BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts) providing additional capital for stabilised assets. The technology stack includes an award-winning Building Information Modelling (BIM) system used for materials tracking and embodied carbon modelling, and digitally automated self-storage infrastructure within the SmartSpace Storage sub-product.

Revenue is generated primarily through contracted rental income, with annualised rent roll of €224.2m as of 31 March 2026, distributed across German (€165.2m) and UK (£81.1m / €93.4m) operations. Funds from Operations reached €133.5m in FY2026 (up 8.4% year-on-year), profit before tax was €211.4m (supported by €111.3m of property valuation gains), and the company delivered its 12th consecutive year of like-for-like rent roll growth above 5% alongside its 25th consecutive dividend increase. The business is capital-intensive, with €463.3m of acquisitions completed in FY2026, €2.9bn of portfolio assets, a €300m revolving credit facility, and an active funding programme spanning corporate bonds (€400m in 2021, €350m in 2025, €185.1m of bond taps in 2026) and a £77m equity placing in February 2026.

Direct peers

• SEGRO: UK-listed industrial/logistics REIT operating across the UK and continental Europe. Closely comparable to Sirius in its industrial property focus, multi-let business park model, and pan-European footprint, though SEGRO skews toward larger big-box logistics.
• Workspace Group: UK-listed REIT focused on flexible workspace in London. Comparable to Sirius/BizSpace through its flex workspace offering to SMEs, though Workspace is geographically concentrated in London whereas BizSpace spans UK regional cities.
• Helical: UK-listed office REIT with focus on central London and selective repositioning plays. Comparable to Sirius in its active asset management approach and willingness to refurbish/upgrade sub-optimal assets to capture rental growth.
• CLS Holdings: UK-listed REIT with office and industrial assets across the UK, Germany and France. Direct comparable to Sirius's pan-European multi-let business park strategy and similar mid-market positioning in German commercial property.
• Regional REIT: UK-listed REIT focused on regional office assets outside the M25. Closely comparable to Sirius's UK BizSpace strategy of owning and actively managing secondary, regional commercial property for SME tenants.
• Hansteen Holdings: UK-listed industrial property REIT (acquired by Blackstone in 2020). Historic comparable to Sirius given similar focus on multi-let industrial estates across UK and continental Europe for SME tenants; Ian Watson co-founded Hansteen before joining Sirius's board.

Broad incumbents

• Tritax Big Box REIT: UK-listed REIT focused on large-scale logistics warehouses. Overlaps with Sirius's UK industrial exposure but operates at the opposite end of the size spectrum (mega-box distribution centres vs SME business parks).
• Land Securities: UK-listed diversified REIT with mixed office and retail exposure. Comparable to Sirius as a UK-listed REIT operating commercial property but at a much larger scale and broader asset mix.
• British Land: UK-listed REIT with office, retail and increasingly logistics exposure. Comparable as a UK-listed REIT pursuing thematic repositioning, though British Land operates at significantly larger scale with a more diversified mandate.
• Aroundtown: European-listed (Frankfurt) commercial property company with major German office and hotel exposure. Comparable to Sirius's German footprint and asset class, though significantly larger and more diversified across hospitality and offices.
