Concepts for key properties<\/h1><\/div>

Developing opportunities, prospects and the future \u2013 for key real estate assets in city centres<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The challenge<\/p>\n<\/div>

Subsequent use and interim use of key properties<\/h2><\/div>

Galeria Kaufhof, Peek & Cloppenburg and Primark are just a few examples of companies that are increasingly pulling out of city centers in Germany. The result: large properties that will become monuments to vacancy<\/b> if they are not revitalized with sustainable usage concepts. <\/p>\n

But what does “sustainable” mean in terms of structural change and changing consumer needs? And how can the immediate surroundings of the property – or even the entire city – benefit from an alternative use? <\/p>\n

Together with you, we rise to the challenge and develop innovative action and usage concepts for key properties in city centres. And we think ahead – in terms of perspectives for people and society, for cities and urban spaces. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

What to do when large properties are vacant? We develop concepts for the subsequent use and interim use of real estate <\/p>\n<\/div>

“Attract, show around, create emotional brackets, arouse curiosity: The city is experienced – and lived – in multifunctional spaces. Large properties offer the opportunity to develop such spaces.“<\/b><\/h3><\/div>

Our approach<\/p>\n<\/div>

Diversity and multifunction as an expression of urban society<\/h2><\/div>

Large vacant properties often offer the opportunity to create innovative and multidimensional places that revitalize not only the building itself, but also its surroundings – whether city centre<\/a> or neighbourhood<\/a>. Former retail spaces can be rethought through an attractive, diverse and sustainable mix of offers and uses, thus combining “commercial” and “non-commercial” interests. This is in everyone’s interest: the city, the economy, the people. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Multi-layered and multifunctional spaces – an opportunity for cities<\/p>\n

<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

We believe in the power and importance of multifunctional and <\/b><\/span>“third places” <\/b><\/span> in cities that offer scope for identification and quality of experience. Based on this conviction, we develop concepts for the subsequent or interim use of large properties. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What we can do for municipal companies, project developers, real estate companies and real estate owners:<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We identify and analyze potentials, resources <\/strong>and interests <\/strong>around key properties and their location.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

We design sustainable concepts for the subsequent use and interim use of large properties<\/strong> – integrated into the inner-city and city-wide context.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

We develop approaches to support and financing options for key properties.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

We assess the impact on neighboring buildings<\/b> and in the urban planning context.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

We evaluate alternative uses with regard to the marketing potential of key properties<\/b> – and the relevance for surrounding commercial players.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our offer to you<\/p>\n<\/div>

From vacancy to a new start for cityscape-defining properties<\/h2><\/div>

We provide impetus with close links to and integration with all key bodies, institutions and industries in the respective city centre. We have the necessary access to the relevant stakeholders<\/a> for the development and realization of real estate projects or their conversion. <\/p>\n

At its core, the Stadtmanufaktur<\/a> is a control platform in the project context that is based on networking and dialog formats:<\/b><\/p>\n
