Branicks Group AG: Successful new lettings in the “Stadttor” in Heidelberg's Bahnstadt district
Frankfurt am Main, July 26, 2024: Branicks Group AG (“Branicks”), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, one of Germany's leading listed real estate companies, has signed three long-term leases for a total of around 4,600 sqm in the “Stadttor Heidelberg” office building in Heidelberg. The tenants are innovation-oriented technology companies with high growth ambitions. With the conclusion of the new leases, the occupancy rate in the ensemble of two buildings is once again well over 90% after the previous main tenant moved out due to a major fire. Shortly before the completion of a comprehensive modernization in 2022, a major fire damaged large parts of the Stadttor Heidelberg property. Branicks then quickly restored the property with an outstanding asset management service, repositioned it on the market and almost fully let it despite the challenging market and damage situation. The result is an ultra-modern, energy-efficient office location with attractive new-work space for flexible, demand-oriented working. Spacious passenger elevators and a roof terrace on the 5th floor increase the attractiveness and user comfort. Branicks acquired the then new building in Heidelberg's Bahnstadt district in 2013 for one of its special office funds. “All three newly acquired tenants have recognized the potential of our space in “Stadttor Heidelberg” and appreciate our performance in asset management. This is based on the commitment, expertise and motivation of our regional teams. With great commitment and speed, they have made the property sustainably attractive in a market environment that was characterized by structural changes and the general tension in the market. We are constantly working to operate our assets successfully and increase their value for our stakeholders,” says Christian Fritzsche, Chief Operating Officer and member of the Executive Board at Branicks. Details of the lettings: Aleph Alpha GmbH, a German provider of an AI-driven language model for companies and public administration, is using 2,759 sqm of office space in the building for its new headquarters in Heidelberg. Dosing GmbH, a specialist in digital solutions for drug therapy safety, is renting around 923 sqm of office space. The company is expanding its research and development department and further developing its market presence. Everest Systems GmbH occupies approx. 913 sqm of office space. The company develops business software for small and medium-sized companies and is using the new location to expand its research and development department. Built in 2012, the building consists of two structures on a shared parking garage at Speyerer Straße 14 and Langen Anger 3-5. It is part of Bahnstadt Heidelberg, one of the largest passive house developments in the world. With its climate-friendly passive construction, the office building sets standards in terms of energy efficiency and high user comfort. The rental space amounts to 11,230 square meters. Employees and customers of the users benefit from the very good location within walking distance of Heidelberg's main railway station, excellent public transport connections and proximity to the A5 and A656 freeways. For this project, Branicks was once again able to build on its proven collaboration with the law firm Wipfler Rechtsanwälte, which advised on the letting of the space.
