About this apartment

Property Description
In one of Cologne’s most sought-after and vibrant locations – Cologne’s Südstadt – we offer you an exclusive selection of condominiums as part of a subdivision project. Of a total of 31 units, 12 apartments have already been successfully sold, underscoring the high attractiveness of this property.

The available apartments offer living areas ranging from approx. 35 m² to 116 m² and 1 to 4 rooms, providing tailored layouts for a wide range of target groups – from single apartments to spacious family homes.

Following recent renovation measures, the property as a whole is in a well-maintained condition. The stairwell and hallways have been freshly painted and equipped with modern lighting. In addition, all apartments benefit from new, highly energy-efficient triple-glazed PVC windows, providing excellent energy values as well as heat and sound insulation.

First-Class Investment with Exceptional Value Reserves
The apartments are currently solidly rented to reliable existing tenants. Since the existing rents, currently averaging approx. 9 EUR / m², are still below the current market level, the seller has opted for a particularly attractive sales price of only approx. 4,850 - 5,200 EUR / m².
Furthermore, regular modernization and maintenance measures have been carried out in the units.

For comparison: Comparable apartments in the sought-after Cologne Südstadt currently achieve approx. 6,000 - 7,500 EUR / m².

For you as a buyer or investor, this means an immediate price advantage below the current market value and thus an ideal entry opportunity.

Enormous Rental and Value Appreciation Potential
For forward-looking investors, this constellation offers tremendous development potential:

Rental growth potential in the existing tenancy: Take advantage of the statutory framework for gradual adjustments of existing rents to the customary market level.

Earning power upon re-letting: When tenants change, new rents of up to 22 EUR / m² can currently be achieved in Cologne’s Südstadt – an immense lever for your future rental yield.

Sustainable retirement provision: Whether you are laying the foundation today for your children’s future home or looking for an attractive retirement residence in one of Cologne’s most popular neighborhoods – this property combines location quality with lasting value.
