Hotel development expertise meets operator competence: Investment in Ruby Hotels

We not only develop hotels, but we also bring our expertise to their operation: The acquisition of shares in the lean luxury hotel group Ruby Hotels by the Otto family as part of a capital increase has put us in an excellent position to invest even more heavily in hotel properties in the future. Ruby Hotels also operates hotels with highly flexible room geometries in our properties, for example, on an area formerly used as an office in the Kö Galerie Düsseldorf. Another ten Ruby Hotels are currently under construction or being planned in Europe.

A quarter with a view of the cathedral: MesseCity Cologne

Working together with STRABAG Real Estate we are developing MesseCity Cologne in a prime location in Cologne. Between Koelnmesse and the ICE- and Köln Messe/Deutz train station, six ultra-modern office and hotel properties with around 135,000 square meters of floor space, including space for restaurants, service providers and retail outlets, will be built by fall 2025. The six 7- to 16-storey buildings, with rental areas ranging from 800 to 3,400 square meters of total floor space per level, meet the latest standards and can be interconnected as required. Zurich Group Germany was the first tenant to move into the three western office buildings covering around 60,000 square meters in fall 2019. With the other tenants Arlanxeo and the restaurant chain L’Osteria, these buildings have been fully let before completion.
