Delmenhorst as an investment location for real estate
Stable population base and high-demand neighborhoods
Delmenhorst is stable in the 80k segment: Municipal monthly statistics in 2024 continuously show around 82.4k-82.9k inhabitants, while local reporting as at 31.12.2024 mentions 82.638 people - a robust foundation for the tenant base and reletting potential in well-connected locations. At 80,845 inhabitants, the 2022 census confirms a conservative base and supplements structural data on households and age profiles, which can be used for investment-side plausibility checks and risk-adjusted assumptions. Highly populated sub-areas such as Deichhorst, Stickgras/Annenriede and Schafkoven/Donneresch are considered micro-locations with strong demand, while the city center/railway station location benefits from short distances and high visibility - a mix that supports core holdings as well as ESG-driven value-add strategies.
Excellent accessibility: RS Bremen-Oldenburg corridor as a demand lever
Delmenhorst is located directly on the Bremen-Oldenburg rail axis and is closely linked to Bremen Hbf and Oldenburg Hbf by the RS3/RS30 regional S-Bahn line; stops in Delmenhorst and Heidkrug ensure fine accessibility and support commuter-heavy residential areas with low fluctuation. The line architecture provides for a combination of RS3 and the accelerated RS30 between Bremen and Oldenburg, which only stops at selected stations - including Delmenhorst - and thus reduces travel times, which further increases the quality of the location. On the operator side, construction/replacement timetables are communicated transparently, which means that planning reliability remains high even during maintenance phases - a plus point for tenant comfort and rental stability in properties close to stations.
Planning and funding framework: ISEK as a structural anchor for ESG and repositioning
The Integrated Urban Development Concept (IUDC) has been adopted as a strategic guideline in Delmenhorst and is backed up by regular monitoring, which makes it easier to plan funding, priority areas and measures for urban redevelopment and neighborhood upgrading. As a cross-thematic instrument, the ISEK defines goals, measures and participation processes and serves as a basis for acquiring federal/state/EU funding - a direct lever for energy modernization, floor plan optimization and the reactivation of first floor areas in upgrading axes. For investors, the combined framework of a stable population base, strong RS development and ISEK-supported urban development opens up a convincing setup ranging from core investments in properties close to public transport to ESG-oriented value-add strategies in densely populated sub-areas.
