Ulm as an investment location for real estate
Economic and scientific ecosystem as an anchor of stability
Ulm is a dynamic high-tech and research location with a university, colleges and the Science City on the Eselsberg, which creates a continuous influx of qualified specialists and a broad tenant base. Science Parks I-III bring together innovative research and development companies and strengthen local value creation - a reliable driver for predictable cash flows and low vacancy risks. The balanced sector mix of industry, SMEs, automotive-related research, medical technology and services ensures resilience across economic cycles.
Infrastructure, micro-locations and urban development as value drivers
As a southern German transportation hub between Stuttgart and Munich, Ulm offers excellent accessibility via the A7/A8 motorways, ICE junctions and strong regional connections - a plus for commuter and corporate demand. Micro-locations with proximity to public transport, a wide range of local amenities, short distances to the campus and hospital as well as proximity to green spaces and the Danube are particularly popular. Urban and district developments with a focus on internal development, redensification and energy-efficient new construction increase the attractiveness of existing properties and create modern, ESG-oriented residential and commercial space with long-term rentability.
Strategies from core to value-add with an ESG focus
Core investments in established neighborhoods benefit from stable rental income, solid creditworthiness and sustainable demand from science, administration and knowledge-intensive sectors. Value-add approaches open up potential through energy-efficient modernization, repositioning and redensification in up-and-coming locations near campus axes and public transport corridors. ESG-compliant upgrades reduce operating costs, improve lettability and strengthen exit prospects - Ulm thus offers a balanced risk/reward profile for investors looking for sustainable returns and future-proof value growth.
