Gateway Real Estate acquires the former Osram production site in Augsburg and plans to develop a new quarter

• Development of a mixed-use inner-city urban quarter
• Gross development volume of more than 800 million euros
• Land area of over 120,000 sqm right next to the river Lech
• Rising recreational value for the urban population in Augsburg

Frankfurt am Main, 2 December 2019 - Gateway Real Estate AG (WKN: A0JJTG / ISIN: DE000A0JJTG7), one of the leading developers in the German real estate market, has acquired the former Osram production site on Berliner Allee in Augsburg and is planning the development of a mixed-use urban quarter there in cooperation with Aventin Real Estate GmbH.

The property on Berliner Allee in an inner-city area of Augsburg is located directly next to the river Lech. It has been used by Osram for more than a century as a production site for illuminants and subsequent by the company Ledvance.

Within the next few years, a new city area is to emerge on the approx. 120,000 sqm site. The basis for this shall be provided by an urban development competition, which is to be announced together with the city of Augsburg in the first quarter of next year. As a result, it is intended to initiate a development plan process.

An important premise of the plans is to create an open space for the previously inaccessible area and to make it accessible to urban community. In addition, the planning also offers the chance to create access to the river Lech and its shores, thereby increasing the recreational value for the urban population in the surrounding area.

The project development volume for the realisation of the district development amounts to around EUR 800 million.

The seller of the property was Ledvance GmbH. Jones Lang LaSalle and GrothmannGeiser advised Ledvance GmbH during the sales process. The buyer was represented by the law firm Sauter & Wurm from Munich.
