BLP Germany has advised CBRE Global Investors on the sale of StadtCenter Düren, a shopping centre in North Rhine-Westphalia. The centre was sold to investment firm Union Investment who purchased the property for the open-end real estate fund UniImmo Deutschland. The purchase price amounted to approximately €70m.

The two-storey building, located in Düren city centre, offers approximately 17,800sqm for 54 current retail and restaurant tenants and 311 parking spaces. The shopping centre’s anchor tenants include a Saturn store covering 3,800 sqm, H&M with 2,200 sqm as well as further well-known brands including Deichmann, dm-drogerie markt and New Yorker. The centre is currently nearly fully leased with an occupancy rate of 96%.

A team led by Hanns-William Mülsch Partner, Real Estate, and Tina Siebenhaar, Partner, Frankfurt, advised CBRE on this transaction as well as on the acquisition of the centre in 2013.
