Real Estate Market Report 2014
Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region

Dear Readers,
Those doing business in the real estate market of the Rhine-Neckar Region can
currently look forward to the exciting effects the conversion of military properties
will have on the this market.
Of the almost 1,000 hectares that will become available in the market stepby-step by 2020, large sections are located in central areas of the core region.
However, their future use will affect the entire Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region.
We are eager to seize these opportunities in order to further minimize the disparities between urban and rural areas in conjunction with the conversion.
The generation of high levels of acceptance and a controlled, demand-driven
zoning development hinge on the intense and transparent dialog between citizens,
planners and investors in the metropolises and the region alike. The fact that
action is being taken on the regional level also offers additional options for the
implementation of innovative model projects, such as sustainable mobility solutions or the integration of decentralized energy systems in conversion projects.
On the occasion of this year’s publication of the Real Estate Market Report we
once again invite you to gain an overview of the overall regional perspective with
its wealth of individual projects and detailed data. A highly efficient project team
consisting of representatives of the regional real estate industry and the municipal administrations in the region has prepared these latest insights into the region
for you.
The dynamics of innovative utilization concepts – in retail, the office space market
or in industrial parks – reflect the region’s prosperity. We are pleased to further
expand our successful track record and to now present the latest developments
and investment opportunities in the Rhine-Neckar Region in this Real Estate
Market Report 2014 to you.
We hope that it will be an inspiring read!

An economic powerhouse
in the heart of the
Rhine-Neckar Region:
Ludwigshafen am Rhein
Business Destination RhineNeckar Metropolitan Region
The Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region is a tri-state region in the Southwest of Germany comprising
parts of three German states - Baden-Württemberg, Hessen and Rhineland-Palatinate. It spans
seven counties and eight urban municipalities. Covering a space of approximately 5,600 square
kilometers, the region is home to about 2.4 million residents. Along with its neighboring regions
Frankfurt/Rhine-Main to the North and Karlsruhe/Stuttgart in the South, the Rhine-Neckar Region
is one of Europe’s economic powerhouses. The three metropolises Heidelberg, Ludwigshafen and
Mannheim provide a balanced spatial structure in combination with medium-sized towns, such as
Worms, Speyer and Bensheim.

the former Turley Barracks
(Mannheim) into an urban
quarter is making progress
Heidelberg
After the departure of the U.S. Forces from Heidelberg, about
180 hectares of space have become available for redevelopment. The space is split across five properties, some of them
are in the downtown area. The conversion process is already
in full swing. For some of the properties, concrete usage
concepts have been sketched out, which have been developed
in close cooperation between the expert planners, citizens and
municipal commissions. Everything is based on the conversion guidelines. Among the primary development goals listed:
affordable residential space, attractive outdoor areas and
premises for scientific, retail, cultural and recreational activities.
The city is planning to acquire all spaces in conjunction with
the first access option from the Federal Agency for Real Estate
Projects (Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben = BlmA). In
a second step, the plan is to transfer the spaces to investors
who are committed to supporting the city’s objectives.

objectives such as residential and commercial space, innovation and sustainability will be at the heart of these projects.
The Benjamin Franklin Village, which boasts 143 hectares of
floor space, is slated to become a model quarter for intelligent energy usage and emissions free mobility (“blue village

All space information provided in Chapter Office Market are leased spaces as defined by gif. They refer to the “Richtlinie zur Berechnung der Mietfläche
für gewerblichen Raum (MF-G)” (Guideline for the Computation of Leased Space for Commercial Spaces (MF-G) published by the Gesellschaft für
Immobilienwirtschaftliche Forschung e. V. (latest version of May 2012). As a rule, the leased spaced according to gif is less than the gross floor space
amount (BGF) pursuant to DIN 277, given that for instance, traffic / transportation areas are not included in the computation. For this Report, the basis
used, according to the recommendations made by bulwiengesa AG was a conversion factor gif/BGF of 0.8.
