Deka Immobilien has appointed HBB Centermanagement GmbH & Co. KG with the comprehensive management of another retail location from its portfolio. From 1 January 2027, the Hamburg-based company will assume the management of the RheinBerg Galerie in Bergisch Gladbach. With the award of this third property, both companies are deepening their strategic partnership in the nationwide retail property sector.
Expanded scope of services and collaborative growth
The agreed mandate extends beyond conventional centre management. In future, HBB will also be responsible for commercial and technical property management, as well as overseeing leasing management for the property. The agreement follows a series of previous appointments: at the beginning of this year, HBB took over the management of the Nedderfeld Center in Hamburg and the Alleen Center in Trier from the institutional investor.
André Stromeyer, Managing Director of HBB Centermanagement, views this renewed mandate as substantial recognition of the collaboration to date. He stresses that the RheinBerg Galerie is an established retail destination in Bergisch Gladbach that they intend to develop further and position for the future together with the owner.
Established retail location in the centre of Bergisch Gladbach
The RheinBerg Galerie is located directly in the pedestrian zone of Bergisch Gladbach and serves as a primary destination for local amenities and retail in the region. Spread across three floors, the lettable area covers nearly 16,000 square metres and features a broadly diversified range of offerings.
- —Lettable area of nearly 16,000 square metres across three levels
- —Around 550 parking spaces for visitors in the centre's multi-storey car park
- —Established anchor tenants including Aldi, Media Markt, Müller Drogerie, C&A and New Yorker
- —Direct connection to the local bus station and suburban railway (S-Bahn)
A key advantage of the property lies in its infrastructural integration, where the immediate proximity to the bus and S-Bahn stations ensures high footfall from the entire surrounding area. Deka Immobilien and HBB share the common goal of continually optimising the shopping gallery's sector and tenant mix, and positioning the asset sustainably in the regional market.
