English translation of the original German press release.
Effective September 1, DQuadrat REAL ESTATE has sold a state-of-the-art office building in Ludwigsburg to the Arminius Group, a Frankfurt-based investment manager specialising in commercial real estate. The office complex has 5,000 square metres of gross floor space at Wilhelm-Fein-Straße 6 in Ludwigsburg. It is fully let to a technology group on a long-term basis. The project was developed by DQuadrat REAL ESTATE on behalf of an investor company and was completed in February 2021. Arminius Group has acquired the property and will manage it in the long term. It was agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
DU Diederichs was responsible for technical due diligence for the buyer. The buyer received legal advice from KUCERA Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater Partnerschaft and the seller from GSK Stockmann Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater Partnerschaftsgesellschaft.
Jesko Fink, Managing Director of Arminius Kapitalgesellschaft mbH, said: 'The acquisition of this attractive new office building in Ludwigsburg is another opportunity for us to make an investment with a sustainable income profile. The economically strong Stuttgart metropolitan region and the long-term rental agreement with a well-known individual tenant that covers the entire rental area enables us to generate an attractive return, independent of the economic cycle. As the asset manager, we will manage the property and support its users on a long-term basis. We will maintain our focus on working in partnership with the tenant and raising identified ESG potential through targeted measures.'
The three-storey new building is located on a 3,600-square-metre site in Ludwigsburg Weststadt. It offers an ideal working environment for the employees of the technology group. The extensively glazed façade ensures bright, inviting facilities. An accessible, planted inner courtyard, terraces and balconies on the upper floors and a roof terrace additionally increase the quality of the environment. The basement houses a 41-space underground car park, changing rooms, technical and service rooms and bicycle stands.
There are an additional 19 parking spaces available at ground level. The construction company WOLFF & MÜLLER was responsible for the turnkey construction. The project was designed and built entirely with Building Information Management (BIM), allowing the new owners to use the building’s digital twin in the operational phase.
