“We expect the performance of IREIT’s property portfolio to remain stable, underpinned by its freehold quality assets, long stable leases and diversified blue chip tenant base”, said Itzhak Sella, CEO of IREIT, on the quarter’s results.

“We remain optimistic that the underlying strength of the German economy as well as the quality of its properties will enable IREIT to continue delivering stable income to its unitholders for FY2016”, he added.
