CR Investment Management (CR) has been appointed to manage the structured sale of a residential real estate portfolio located in Helmstedt, Lower Saxony.
The portfolio comprises approximately 1,980 residential units across 87 properties, with total lettable residential space of around 116,000 sqm. According to CR, it represents one of the largest contiguous residential holdings in the local market. The mandate aims to place the assets with institutional and professional investors through a structured sales process.
“Due to its size and homogeneous structure in a regional centre, the portfolio in Helmstedt offers an attractive investment profile. The location is characterised by its favourable position between Wolfsburg, Braunschweig and Magdeburg,” said Claudius Meyer, Managing Director of CR Investment Management. He added that much of the portfolio offers potential for value growth through energy-efficiency upgrades.
The assets are located in the district capital of Helmstedt and in the nearby town of Schöningen, within the Helmstedt district, which has a combined population of around 36,000. Helmstedt lies approximately 36 km east of Braunschweig and about 45 km west of Magdeburg, close to the Saxony-Anhalt border.
Under the mandate, CR Investment Management will oversee preparation of the portfolio data, investor outreach and coordination of a multi-stage bidding process. The sales campaign is targeted at institutional investors, family offices and residential specialists from Germany and abroad, with the transaction planned as a share deal.
CR Investment Management said it has completed multiple residential and commercial portfolio transactions in recent years across different market conditions.
