exponentially.

Since the beginning of 2014 VGP has expanded its land bank by securing 2.1 million m² of additional new development land of which 1.0 million
m² was already acquired during the year. These new land plots allow VGP to develop a further 450,000 m² of future lettable area.

The development activities and leasing activities are continuing to grow strongly, supported by the strong demand for new lettable space from manufacturing and logistic companies recorded especially in Germany and Estonia. Also in VGP's other markets a sound demand for lettable space is noticed.
