The Old Town Hall at Ringstraße 29 in Castrop-Rauxel has served as a residential and commercial building for years and offers potential for value appreciation.
Working jointly with ProRuhr Immobilien, Brockhoff advised on the sale of the listed building to a Düsseldorf-based corporate group.
Built in 1904 and 1905, the freestanding building occupies a 2,440 m² plot in a central location in the Rauxel district and provides 2,065 m² of lettable space.
It contains 13 commercial units totalling 925 m², let long term to tenants including a music school, a psychotherapy practice, and a photography studio. A further 1,140 m² of lettable space is used for residential purposes.
“The sale of the Old Town Hall shows that investors ready to act can acquire high-yield properties for their portfolios right now. Appropriate refurbishment offers further potential to increase this property’s value,” says Jörg Langensiepen, Managing Director at Brockhoff.
“Thanks to the professional and trusted cooperation between our brokerage firms, we achieved a good deal for both buyer and seller,” says Sebastian Kolkmann, Managing Director of ProRuhr Immobilien, welcoming the successful joint transaction.
