The retail property market is picking up again. After several years of the pandemic, during which political decisions affected this asset class, RETAIL properties are once again among the most popular investment assets. Bert Pfeffer, who was already part of the Brockhoff team when retail property marketing helped the company grow, is feeling the upturn. “We have not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels, but demand and completed transactions have clearly increased,” he says. Many cities are pushing ahead with plans for the future of their city centers and out-of-town shopping districts. Eckhard Brockhoff advises the cities of Düsseldorf and Essen on city-center development. He is convinced that German city centers can thrive in the future with a greater residential and office presence. The Brockhoff team provides tailored support to owners of properties in prime 1a locations and draws on creative approaches and more than 30 years of market experience to find the right tenants or buyers.
