The company reported a net rental income of €106 million for Q1 2025, a 1% increase from the €105 million earned in the same period of the previous year, despite property disposals.
The residential real estate company experienced a 3.8% like-for-like rental growth, which the company attributes to strong operational performance and favorable market conditions.

Grand City Properties also reported a positive revaluation of its properties, with a 0.6% increase on a like-for-like basis for 20% of its portfolio. The company completed €120 million in disposals at book value during the quarter. Net profit doubled to €88 million, with basic earnings per share rising from €0.17 to €0.35.
The company maintains a strong liquidity position, with nearly €1.7 billion in cash and liquid assets as of March 2025, equivalent to 37% of total debt. The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio stood at a conservative 32%, and the interest coverage ratio (ICR) was 5.5x in Q1 2025.
