CapitalBAY buys mixed-use asset in Hamburg for Special AIF
Berlin, 06. November 2018
Berlin, 6 November 2018 – Berlin-based Capital Bay GmbH (CapitalBAY) has bought a residential and commercial property in Hamburg’s Langenhorn district in a forward deal. The purchase price was in the lower two-digit million euro range. The seller was Wall- Immobilienbesitz GmbH & Co KG V, based in Hamburg. Upon completion, the asset will become part of the open-ended Special AIF CB Wohnimmobilien Deutschland. HANSAINVEST Hanseatische Investment-GmbH is acting as the service KVG of the fund.
The property, currently under development on a 2,600-sq.m. plot on Langenhorner Chaussee 672-680, comprises 48 residential and seven commercial units with a total GLA of close to 4,800 sq.m. The five-storey building will feature one- to four-room apartments, an underground car park with room for 26 vehicles and bikes as well as storage space. Another ten parking spaces are located on the plot. Large windows, generous balconies, loggias and roof terraces will add to the property’s living comfort. The commercial spaces are to be rented to local suppliers, gastronomy and freelancers. Completion of the project, which is located close to a subway station, is scheduled for the third quarter of 2019.
Local Hamburger Immobilien-, Projekt- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH (HIPE), is responsible for project development and management of the property. FCN Finanz-Consult Nord GmbH brokered the deal.
Christoph Geißler, CFO and CIO of Capital Bay GmbH: “With the new acquisition, we are complementing our residential Special Fund, focused on strong B-cities, with an attractive asset in an A-city such as Hamburg. The project will be offering living space for the entire demand spectrum, from one-room micro-apartment all the way to four-room family flats. The property is located in Hamburg’s North, close to Norderstedt, one of the most important centres of the Hamburg metropolitan region. The area is characterised by a significant demand overhand for apartments.”
With 1.8 m inhabitants, Hamburg is Germany’s second largest city. The German Economic Institute IW (Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft) this spring forecast a further population growth by 162,000 to close to 2 m inhabitants by 2035. Accordingly, CapitalBAY expects the housing shortage in the Hanseatic city to continue.
