HIH Invest Real Estate has signed a new long-term lease with non-food discounter Action for approximately 1,000 sqm of retail space at Zuckerpassage 6–37 in Lehrte, Lower Saxony. The retailer is scheduled to open its store on 29 November 2025.
The agreement follows recent lease extensions with anchor tenants EDEKA and Expert, both of which have operated at the location since the scheme opened. Their renewals secure continued full occupancy at the retail park, which HIH Invest acquired for an investment fund in 2018.
Developed in 2004, the scheme comprises more than 20 units and a fitness studio across roughly 14,500 sqm of lettable space, supported by 450 customer parking spaces. The tenant mix includes several national chains alongside local operators.
According to Milan-Kristoffer Otte, Head of Asset Management Retail & Logistics at HIH Real Estate, the addition of Action broadens the centre’s offer and supports sustained footfall. Otte noted the site’s central positioning within Lehrte, its transport accessibility, and ongoing collaboration with tenants on improving the visitor experience, including coordinated promotions and service initiatives.
Lehrte, a town of around 44,400 residents located approximately 20 km from Hanover, benefits from strong regional connections. The retail park sits within the town centre, close to other retail and dining options. A bus stop is situated directly in front of the property, while Lehrte’s main railway station is within walking distance. The A2 and A7 motorways are around seven kilometres away, providing wider accessibility.
