QUEST Investment Partners acquires centrally located office property in Hamburg
Hamburg, 27 October 2021. The investment and project development company QUEST Investment Partners has acquired the office and commercial building at Steindamm 72-86 in an off market transaction. The building comprises 14,100 m2 of rental space and 144 car parking spaces. The seller is a joint venture between the London-based investment manager Tristan Capital Partners and the German real estate company Investa Real Estate. The parties agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
Built in 1973, the eleven-storey property received a complete refurbishment and an energy efficiency upgrade in 2014 and 2019. It is located in Hamburg’s St. Georg district, next to the 12,750 m2 office building Steindamm 94, which is also part of the QUEST portfolio.
“We are very convinced by the central location of this building within the public transportation network. Furthermore, we see this fully let office-asset as a strategic, long-term investment, which will profit from a significant increase of the neighborhood”, explains Luis Walther-Kraft, Head of Transactions & Partnering at QUEST Investment Partners. The main tenants at Steindamm 72-86 are the City of Hamburg and EOS.
Thanks to its central location, the building offers optimal public transport connections: Hamburg’s central station can be reached on foot in just a few minutes, and bus and underground stations are right around the corner.
BNP Paribas Real Estate carried out the transaction process. QUEST received legal advice from Capstone Legal and Huth Dietrich Hahn, tax advice from Hansa Partner Rommel & Meyer, and technical advice from Bohnzirlewagen. Poellath provided legal and tax advice to the sellers.
