What Peach Property Group does

Peach Property Group AG is a Zürich-headquartered, SIX Swiss Exchange-listed residential real estate investor (ticker PEAN, listed since 2010) that acquires, actively manages, and selectively disposes of high-yield residential portfolios concentrated in German B-cities, primarily in Nordrhein-Westfalen. As of December 31, 2025, the company reported a portfolio of approximately 15,000+ units (reduced from ~27,500 following divestitures), EUR 2,088 million in total assets, EUR 915 million in equity, and an LTV of 49.2%, with a 43.8% equity ratio. Rental income of EUR 105.2 million in FY2025 was generated at an average in-place rent of EUR 6.40 per square meter, approximately 15% below the German market average.

The company's operating model combines a multi-channel tenant service platform with institutional asset management. Twelve physical Peach Points tenant shops, a Zendesk-based digital ticketing system, a tenant mobile app, and smart meter infrastructure installed in roughly 50% of eligible apartments underpin a 6.5% vacancy rate, 91.2% one-touch resolution rate, and 9.90-year average rental period. On the capital side, the company has undergone a balance sheet transformation in 2024-2025 anchored by EUR 410 million in long-term financing from Castlelake (August 2025), a CHF 50 million capital increase (June 2025), and a CHF 63 million mandatory convertible (December 2024), with Ares Management serving as anchor shareholder since 2020.

Revenue is generated through two streams: recurring residential rental income from German B-city portfolios and episodic gains from selective portfolio sales to institutional investors, including the EUR 120 million sale of ~5,200 units in November 2024 and the EUR 40 million+ sale of ~2,000 units announced in December 2025. The company is led by CEO Gerald Klinck (appointed April 2024) and Chairman Michael Zahn, with operational management recently refreshed by the February 2025 appointment of COO Stefanie Koch, and maintains EPRA Gold Awards for both financial and sustainability reporting alongside a CDP B rating.
