Alte Neustadt as an investment location for real estate
University and Weser location: urban demand, short distances, strong mix of uses
Alte Neustadt is located to the left of the Weser opposite Bremen's old town and, with its Teerhof, Neustadtswall facilities and streets close to the campus, forms a core close to the city center with high visibility, dense development and a wide range of uses including housing, education, culture and health. The main location of Bremen University of Applied Sciences (HSB) on Neustadtswall with its administration, several faculties and the International Graduate Center in Süderstraße ensures year-round student and academic demand in the immediate vicinity of the district. Ongoing campus developments at the Neustadtswall site (including refurbishment/extension of the FS building, energy efficiency focus) strengthen the quality of the micro-location and ensure additional footfall for residential concepts and first floor uses. The district structure of the Neustadt anchors the Alte Neustadt as a central sub-area within an 8-district structure that comprises a total of over 40,000 inhabitants and is considered an urban, young residential location with a high density.
Micro-location advantages: Campusring, Teerhof, Buntentorsteinweg and Kulturachsen
Top locations combine proximity to the campus and the Weser: around Neustadtswall/Langemarckstrasse, properties benefit from direct proximity to the university, canteen, libraries and public transport, while the Teerhof peninsula combines residential qualities close to the city center with waterfront locations. The Buntentorsteinweg as a subsidized center axis was upgraded to improve the quality of stay, pathways and networking; the area includes parts of Alte Neustadt and Buntentor and integrates numerous social and cultural facilities - a plus for the neighborhood image, first floor uses and tenant loyalty. Cultural and educational facilities such as the Theater am Leibnizplatz, Hallenbad Süd and other facilities in the Alte Neustadt increase the recreational value and visibility; at the same time, university, industrial and residential themes characterize the local mix, which favours student housing and compact floor plans.
Future impulses and strategies from core to value-add with ESG levers
Urban development programmes and campus investments strengthen the quality of the location: the center programme (since 2008) focuses on public spaces, mobility and the integration of cultural and social facilities, while HSB is expanding its space on Neustadtswall in an energy-efficient manner - both have a stabilizing effect on demand, lettability and exit prospects. Core strategies focus on refurbished properties close to the campus and the Weser with low fluctuation and a broad target group appeal; value-add potential lies in energy modernization, floor plan optimization and the repositioning of first floor areas along the upgraded axes (e.g. Buntentorsteinweg) as well as in student and furnished concepts close to HSB. The integration of Alte Neustadt into the large Neustadt district with its heterogeneous population structure, high density and central location supports long-term resilience and creates a resilient foundation for sustainable cash flows and valuable portfolio development.
