Catella Investment Management completes the acquisition of two new buildings with 154 modern apartments in Hanover, Germany

Berlin-based Catella Investment Management GmbH (CIM) announces the acquisition of two completed new-build properties in Hanover, Germany. The transaction was carried out for an individual mandate and together with the KVG platform Catella Real Estate AG (CREAG) for the Catella European Residential fund. Catella European Residential (CER) is managed by Catella Investment Management GmbH as investment advisor, while Catella Real Estate AG acts as KVG platform. The real estate assets of CER currently amount to approx. 1,385 million euros. The seller is PHI Kronsrode Grundstücks GmbH. The total sales volume is above 50 million euros.

A total of 154 residential units–including 102 privately financed apartments and 52 subsidized apartments– as well as six commercial units and a daycare centre with a lettable area of around 12,060 square meters were built in accordance with the KfW-55 standard on the plots in the Kronsrode development area in Hanover. The buildings were completed by the end of 2024 respectively in the first quarter of 2025. The mobility concept includes numerous bicycle parking spaces with e-bike charging facilities, 148 car parking spaces on the site, optimal public transport connections and car-sharing services.

Michael Keune, Managing Director of CIM, explains: “The funds are investing in an efficient building structure with attractive floor plans in a green, family-friendly district with a high quality of life for many people in the Hanover growth region.”

Benjamin Rüther, Head of Fund Management Residential at CIM, adds: “The project in Kronsrode convinces with excellent connections to the city center and an efficient public infrastructure consisting of daycare centers, schools, restaurants and good local amenities. The proportion of social housing promotes the neighbourhood’s social mix and cohesion”

Kronsrode is located on the south-eastern outskirts of Hanover and is connected to the road network via the A37 and A7 highways and the B6 and B65 federal highways. The Stockholmer Allee and Krügerskamp subway stations are just a few minutes' walk away. Subway line 6 takes residents to the city center in around 20 minutes. There are several easily and quickly accessible supermarkets in the immediate vicinity.

Due to the numerous individual measures, the development fits in with CER's ESG strategy. A double-shell masonry with insulation in the cavity and a district heating system reduces energy consumption. The promotion of sustainable and social mobility through car sharing, cycle paths and parking spaces with e-bike charging stations are exemplary for the consideration of environmental and social aspects, while the promotion of diverse and inclusive culture in the management and use of the building touches on the aspect of governance.
