In an investor competition, Art-Invest Real Estate Funds GmbH acquired the heritable building right in the Alte Kämmerei property located at Marktplatz 5-6 in Düsseldorf. Art-Invest intends to refurbish the listed property and reposition it in the marketplace as office building with retail outlets and catering establishments on the ground floor and an event hall in the inner courtyard.
The administration building was constructed in 1957 as a perimeter development with a full basement and arcades along Marktstraße and Rheinstraße and is now in need of refurbishment. Since the city treasury and the tax office moved out in 2014, the office levels have been vacant, while the shops are still being used. The entire building including the interior fit-out was listed as a historic monument in 1987, and the area in which it is located is subject to a preservation statute.
SOP Architekten were commissioned with the planning & design and IQ Real Estate GmbH will serve as project manager.
