A prolonged vacancy in Düsseldorf city centre has been successfully resolved. Estate agency Aengevelt brokered an office unit at Steinstraße 2 to orthopaedic specialist Dr. med. univ. Jannis Rorarius, who will use the property in future to operate his newly founded practice. The lease agreement was signed in May 2026 and provides for a fixed term of ten years. The official lease commencement date was agreed as 1 September 2026.
The commercial property is situated in a prime location in Düsseldorf city centre and comprises a total area of 477 square metres. Prior to the current agreement, the unit had stood vacant and unused for a period of around two years. In the run-up to the transaction, Aengevelt examined in detail the extent to which the existing office accommodation was structurally and functionally suitable for subsequent medical use, accompanying the physician throughout the search for a site and space.
Structured conversion and long-term commitment
Through intensive negotiations between the owner and the future occupier, a commercial package was drawn up that meets the requirements of both contracting parties. Dr. med. univ. Jannis Rorarius emphasised that the premises offered an almost optimal layout for his newly established practice. In addition, direct links to public transport and parking facilities in the immediate vicinity were decisive factors in the location decision.
Justin Funhoff, the responsible consultant at Aengevelt in Düsseldorf, noted that the property had previously been vacant for two years. The agency had analysed the feasibility of a conversion at an early stage and, based on this, approached suitable prospective occupiers in a targeted manner. He added that the result illustrated the marketing potential inherent in office space that is no longer in line with contemporary demand when alternative use concepts are rigorously explored.
The conversion of traditional office accommodation into modern medical units remains a relevant element in revitalising core city-centre locations. With the ten-year lease on Steinstraße, the location secures stable healthcare infrastructure while demonstrating continued demand for centrally situated service space in Düsseldorf city centre.
