(Dortmund, 03.06.2025) – “Local investors have confidence in Dortmund’s property market and are strengthening it through large-scale investments. This sends a positive signal beyond the city and attracts investors from further afield,” says Sascha Kiupel, authorised signatory and investment adviser at Brockhoff.

In recent months, Brockhoff has handled several major property transactions involving buyers from Dortmund.

• 20,000 m² office building: Brockhoff sold a value-add property on the B1.
• 10,000 m² office building: Brockhoff sold an office building in the southern city centre to the City of Dortmund.
• 6,200 m² plot: Brockhoff sold a site with planning potential for a 20,200 m² office building.

The activity of Dortmund-based property buyers is strengthening confidence in the market beyond the city limits. With advice from Brockhoff, two investors from outside the city also secured landmark Dortmund office buildings for their portfolios.

• 4,000 m² office building: Frankfurt-based aam2core Holding AG acquired the well-known Stadtfenster office and commercial building through Brockhoff.
• 5,290 m² office building: Brockhoff sold an office complex in Stadtkrone Ost to Hannover Steel Real Estate Advisors.

In the past ten months alone, Brockhoff handled transactions totalling 46,300 m² in sought-after Dortmund office locations.

“The price discovery phase, which led to a historically low transaction volume in Dortmund in 2023, is over. Together with stabilised interest rates, this has led to a marked increase in market activity,” the property expert explains, expecting investment volume to remain high for the rest of the year.
