VK Immobilien Gruppe, a company belonging to the KZVK and VKPB pension funds from Dortmund, has acquired an EDEKA market in Swisttal. The transaction was completed as an off-market deal. The parties agreed to maintain confidentiality regarding the exact purchase price. This acquisition underscores the group's continued investment activity in the national commercial real estate market.
The acquired property in Swisttal, which commenced operations at the end of 2024, encompasses approximately 2,600 square metres of rental space. Additionally, about 100 parking spaces are available for tenants and customers. The existing lease agreement has a term of over 13 years, indicating long-term planning security for the investor. The EDEKA market was already established in Swisttal before its re-opening and has relocated its premises to the newly acquired property as part of this development project.
Property features and surroundings
The property is equipped with contemporary infrastructure. This includes charging stations for electric vehicles, responding to the increasing demand for electromobility. Furthermore, the market's roof is fitted with a photovoltaic system, contributing to sustainable energy supply. These features reflect current requirements for modern retail properties and address environmental aspects.
The EDEKA market's location is embedded within a strong retail environment. In its direct vicinity are other retail businesses such as ALDI, Rossmann, and a drinks market. This constellation fosters high customer footfall and enhances the location's attractiveness for retail. The aggregated offering of these shops creates synergies for the resident tenants and owners.
