Metro Properties, the real estate company of METRO AG, has sold two commercial properties in separate transactions. The assets comprise a retail park in Bischofsheim, Hesse, and an educational and local convenience centre in Pforzheim, Baden-Württemberg. Law firm DLA Piper provided legal advice to the seller on both disposals.
Retail park in Bischofsheim sold to Lugman Capital
In Bischofsheim, Metro Properties sold an established retail park to Lugman Capital GmbH. The transaction closed in the third quarter of 2026. The site covers a plot of around 40,000 square metres with a lettable area of approximately 18,000 square metres.
The property benefits from its location directly on the A60 motorway, roughly 15 minutes from Frankfurt Airport. The tenant roster consists of several retail chain operators:
- —MediaMarkt
- —KFC
- —Roller
- —Jet
Fully let educational and local convenience centre in Pforzheim
The second disposal concerns an educational and local convenience centre at Haidachstraße 4-6 in Pforzheim. The purchaser of this asset is a regional family office. The fully let building has a lettable area of around 8,300 square metres.
The space configuration in Pforzheim is characterised by mixed use. The City of Pforzheim uses parts of the property for educational purposes. Local convenience provision is anchored by the two other tenants, Netto and Action.
The core advisory real estate team at commercial law firm DLA Piper was led by Counsel Philip Heinzel-Flothmann. The team also included Partner Dr. Gerold Jaeger and Associate Dr. Christian Kleindopff in Düsseldorf, as well as Senior Transaction Specialist Sabrina Becker in Frankfurt.
