Le mie ricette per la real estate communityCommerz Real has acquired a 3-star Intercity Hotel with 216 rooms to be newly constructed in Wiesbaden
for its open-ended real estate fund hausInvest
for approx. 33.4 million euros. The property on Klingholzstrasse in the
immediate vicinity of Wiesbaden central station is being sold by
project developer GBI. A 20-year lease agreement
has been concluded with Intercity Hotel GmbH, a brand of Steigenberger
Hotels AG, including an obligation on the part of Steigenberger to
become the lessee. Following the planned completion in the first six
months of 2021 the building will have a total floor
space of 10,600 square metres, incl. a restaurant, spread over two
building elements with four and six storeys, respectively. In addition
it will have 40 car parking spaces in an underground garage and 14
parking spaces on the street.
“Wiesbaden has a very stable hotel market and growing demand,” explains
Dirk Schuldes, Global Head of Hospitality at Commerz Real. Thus the
State Statistics Office for Hesse put the number of overnight stays in
2018 at more than 1.25 million, the seventh successive
year in which there had been an increase. Commerz Real expects to see
further growth, and in particular in the number of business travellers,
as a result of the opening of the Rhein Main Congress Center in 2018,
which is within easy walking distance of the
hotel.
The
acquisition was structured as a forward funding agreement. This means
that Commerz Real has initially bought the plot of land with a
development
obligation and then pays for the property in instalments in line with
construction progress.
