The move brings the European asset manager’s total ownership to roughly 12.7% of the REIT’s net asset value as it eyes a real estate recovery.

March 4, 2026

DWS Group, one of Europe’s largest asset managers, announced on March 3, 2026, that it has invested an additional $15 million into RREEF Property Trust, a publicly registered daily-NAV real estate investment trust listed on NASDAQ. The purchase was made through an affiliate and involved shares of the company’s Class Z common stock, priced at net asset value as of the close of business on February 25, 2026.

The transaction was conducted under a registration exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

A Growing Commitment

The new investment represents approximately 7.5% of RREEF Property Trust’s total net asset value and brings DWS’s cumulative stake to around 12.7%. Hepsen Uzcan, CEO of DWS Americas, characterized the move as a demonstration of the firm’s ongoing commitment to supporting and expanding the company. Todd Henderson, who serves as both Co-Global Head of Real Estate at DWS and CEO of RREEF Property Trust, pointed to favorable fundamentals in the current investment cycle, noting that conditions support a recovery in real estate values. He highlighted industrial, residential, and necessity-based retail as the sectors where the firm holds its strongest convictions.

Looking Ahead

While the announcement signals confidence in the near-term trajectory of commercial real estate, both DWS and RREEF Property Trust cautioned that forward-looking expectations are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ from current projections.
