HIH Extends Lease with State of Baden-Württemberg for 5,200 sqm in Stuttgart

HIH Invest Real Estate has renewed its long-term lease agreement with the State of Baden-Württemberg for approximately 5,200 square metres of office space at Löwentorbogen 9a in Stuttgart. The space, which spans seven floors, continues to house the Stuttgart traffic police and other departments of the city’s police force.

The property, located in the Bad Cannstatt district, offers a total of around 9,500 square metres of office space divided across two connected buildings, Löwentorbogen 9a and 9b. Built in 2002, the complex includes two basement levels with archive and storage areas and an underground car park with 45 spaces, plus 13 additional outdoor parking spaces.

Ken Kuhnke, Head of Major Tenant Support at HIH Real Estate, said the early lease renewal reflects the strength of the company’s tenant relationships. “The extension of the lease with the State of Baden-Württemberg shows how long-term and trusting partnerships form the basis for sustainable leasing success. Through close cooperation and regular contact with our tenant, we were able to secure the agreement ahead of time,” he commented.

The office property forms part of a special fund launched by HIH Invest in 2014, which focuses on office assets in prime and secondary German cities. Located in Stuttgart’s Pragsattel area, a key transport hub connecting Löwentorstraße and Pragstraße, the building offers easy access to public transport and main road links. The central railway station can be reached in about ten minutes by underground, while the airport is roughly a 30-minute drive via the B14.

Markus Leuchte, Head of Office Letting Frankfurt at HIH Real Estate, added that the renewal further strengthens the location’s role as a hub for public institutions. “With the Stuttgart police, we have secured a strong public-sector tenant for the long term at Löwentorbogen. Its accessibility and proximity to major transport routes make it an ideal site for government agencies and businesses that engage with the public. The City of Stuttgart’s recent decision to lease space in the neighbouring building, Löwentorbogen 11, underscores the ongoing appeal of this location,” he said.

HIH Invest continues to focus on maintaining stable tenant relationships and long-term occupancy within its German office portfolio, particularly in well-connected city districts suited to institutional and public-sector tenants.
