Branicks wins REWE as a further anchor tenant for the “Neustadt Centrum” in Halle

  • REWE grocery store on 5,400 sqm
  • Lease agreement runs for 15 years
  • Aiming for a high level of sustainability
  • Excellent sector network and proactive asset management service as the basis for sustainable added value

Frankfurt am Main, September 30, 2024: Branicks Group AG (“Branicks”), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, one of Germany’s leading listed real estate companies, has acquired REWE Markt GmbH, a REWE Group company, as a further anchor tenant in the “Neustadt Centrum” retail property. REWE is taking over more than half of the 10,100 square meters of space that became vacant following the closure of “mein real” in the course of the retailer’s nationwide insolvency. The lease has a term of 15 years. The conclusion of the new lease increases the occupancy rate in Neustadt Centrum from 66% to 85%.  REWE’s entry is a decisive step towards strengthening the sector and tenant mix. Branicks is already in good talks with interested parties for the remaining space.

“Our success in the new letting to REWE once again demonstrates our strength as a proactive and well-connected asset manager with extensive expertise in ESG and repositioning real estate,” said Christian Fritzsche, Chief Operating Officer of Branicks Group AG. “Thanks to our in-depth understanding for the market, our ability to present tailor-made solutions and our strong leasing expertise in a challenging market, we have developed a concept for Neustadt Centrum that benefits both tenants and consumers and further enhances the urban environment.”

“Our supermarkets offer a full range of products. From regional products and organic food to a wide selection of fruit and vegetables and our low-price items. We are delighted to be represented in Neustadt Centrum in the future,” said Tina Richter, Expansion Manager at REWE.

With the support of Branicks and its expertise in sustainability, REWE is planning a REWE Center that meets the latest ecological standards and makes it a showcase project in terms of sustainability. For example, the waste heat from electrical appliances is to be used for heating purposes, thereby reducing the overall energy requirement. Branicks is aiming for BREEAM certification as confirmation of the center’s sustainable orientation.

As an experienced asset manager, Branicks sees it as its task not only to reduce vacancy rates, but also to create added value through innovative, sustainable solutions. Branicks creates ideal conditions for tenants and all other stakeholders with its comprehensive know-how and high level of consulting and implementation expertise.

Opened in 2000, Neustadt Centrum in Halle is a multifunctional shopping center in the commercial portfolio of Branicks Group AG. With a total area of 30,700 square meters, it offers its visitors an attractive mix of retail, restaurants, a modern multiplex cinema with eight screens, doctors’ surgeries and a wide range of services. As a local supplier and social meeting place, the shopping center attracts more than 10,000 visitors from the region every day. Customers have access to 933 parking spaces in the center’s own parking garage.
