The Cube

The cube

In December 2016, the Fund signed contracts to acquire the Cube, an office development project in Berlin. The 17,239 sq m building, completed in June 2020 and represents the European Citied Fund's 14th investment.

The iconic office asset has a striking glass façade and integrates the latest smart technology and is in a prime location between the Parliament Quarter and Hauptbahnhof Station, next to the River Spree. This is part of a long-term regeneration area called ‘Europacity’ and is one of the most important development areas in Berlin.

Being 100% pre-let to a strong occupier mix from legal and financial services sectors, on predominantly 10-year leases, the Cube is also under-rented on acquisition, experiencing strong rental growth and high occupational demand since the leases were signed, a result of Berlin being one of the top performing office markets in Germany.

Europacity, Berlin, Germany

The European properties listed are owned by European Cities Fund (ECF), in which Nuveen Global Cities REIT (REIT) has invested $75 million as of 30 June 2022. ECF has $1.8 billion in gross asset value as of 30 June 2022 excluding forward commitments. The REIT does not charge investors for management of this commitment. Investors indirectly pay the underlying management fee of ECF, on the amount of their commitment to the fund, which is lower than the REIT’s management fee. The REIT will not have direct control over ECF and therefore a part of the REIT’s performance will be affected by decisions made by ECF.

These properties represent select holdings at the time of publication and are not meant to represent the entire portfolio. The opinions expressed are reflective of the manager's views at the time of acquisition.

Summary of Risk Factors

Nuveen Global Cities REIT, Inc. is a non-listed REIT, which offers limited liquidity as compared to other products, such as publicly listed REITs. Investors in Nuveen Global Cities REIT, Inc. are not receiving publicly listed shares. An investment in Nuveen Global Cities REIT, Inc. involves a high degree of risk, including the same risks associated with an investment in real estate investments, including fluctuations in property values, higher expenses or lower expected income, currency movement risks and potential environmental liabilities. Please consider all risks carefully prior to investing in any particular strategy, including the following risks for Nuveen Global Cities REIT, Inc.:

  • There is no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives.
  • You will not have the opportunity to evaluate our future investments before we make them, and we may not have the opportunity to evaluate or approve investments made by entities in which we invest, such as the International Affiliated Funds, which makes your investment more speculative.
  • Since there is no public trading market for shares of our common stock, repurchase of shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares. Our share repurchase plan provides stockholders with the opportunity to request that we repurchase their shares on a monthly basis, but we are not obligated to repurchase any shares and may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased in any particular month in our discretion. In addition, repurchases are subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions. Further, our board of directors may modify or suspend our share repurchase plan if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. As a result, our shares should be considered as having only limited liquidity and at times may be illiquid.
  • The purchase and repurchase price for shares of our common stock is generally based on our prior month’s NAV (subject to material changes as described above) and is not based on any public trading market. While we obtain independent periodic appraisals of our properties, the appraisal of properties is inherently subjective, and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our assets could be liquidated on any given day.
  • Our board of directors may also determine to terminate our share repurchase plan if required by applicable law or in connection with a transaction in which our stockholders receive liquidity for their shares of our common stock, such as a sale or merger of our company or listing of our shares on a national securities exchange.
  • We have no employees and are dependent on our Advisor and its affiliates to conduct our operations. Our Advisor will face conflicts of interest as a result of, among other things, the allocation of investment opportunities among us and Other Nuveen Real Estate Accounts, the allocation of time of investment professionals and the fees that we pay to our Advisor.
  • We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and if we do we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.
  • This is a “best efforts” offering. If we are not able to raise a substantial amount of capital in the near term, our ability to achieve our investment objectives could be adversely affected.
  • There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares.
  • If we fail to qualify as a REIT and no relief provisions apply, our NAV and cash available for distribution to our stockholders could materially decrease.
  • Our investments in International Affiliated Funds may be subject to currency, inflation or other governmental and regulatory risks specific to the countries in which the International Affiliated Funds operate and own assets.
  • The defined terms have the meanings assigned to them in the prospectus.
