Potsdam, 23 June 2021 – PROJECT Immobilien Gewerbe AG has sold its H-LAB office and laboratory complex at Am Mühlenberg 9 in Potsdam to Warburg-HIH Real Estate (Warburg-HIH Invest).

On the buyer’s side, legal and tax due diligence was performed by Ashurst LLP from Frankfurt am Main, while ES EnviroSustain from Berlin took charge of technical and ESG due diligence.

Hans-Joachim Lehmann, Managing Director of Warburg-HIH Invest, said, “We succeeded in acquiring a prestigious new project with an off-market deal. An anchor tenant with a strong credit rating guarantees a secure and longterm cash flow and attractive yields. The property also has state-of-the-art technical facilities and flexible floor plans, making it perfect for alternative uses as well.”

“Science and education are the keys to a successful future,” said Alexander Klein, Director of Global Sales at PROJECT Immobilien Gewerbe AG. “Locations where such activities can flourish are extremely exciting for us as project developers, and are in high demand among investors. Our success at acquiring the University of Potsdam as the anchor tenant is a testament to our focus on forward-looking locations and outstanding building concepts.”

The location at Potsdam Science Park offers an ideal platform for networking with other companies and researchers from a variety of different industries of the future.
