Grand City Properties SA ( (DE:GYC) ) has provided an update.

Grand City Properties reported a solid start to 2026, with Q1 net rental income rising 2% to €109 million and like-for-like rental growth of 3.5% supported by low vacancy of 3.6%. Adjusted EBITDA edged up to €86 million, while FFO I slipped to €46 million as higher finance costs weighed on results, though full-year FFO I guidance of €175 million to €185 million was reaffirmed.

The group maintained a conservative balance sheet with €1.6 billion in liquidity, a 32% loan-to-value ratio, and €6.4 billion in unencumbered assets, while continuing to recycle capital through selective disposals and new acquisitions in Germany and London. After fully refinancing its perpetual notes through a new €600 million issue, the board moved to reinstate a dividend of €0.30 per share for 2025 and set an ongoing payout policy of 50% of FFO I, signalling renewed confidence and offering investors a clearer income outlook.
