What Covivio does

French REIT owning office, residential and hotel real estate across France, Germany and Italy.

Rent from leases carries the company, with offices, German apartments and hotels each contributing. Hotels are leased to operators on long contracts, while German apartment rents are partly regulated and move slowly. As a French listed property company of the SIIC type, it must pay out much of its rental profit.
