Rheinauhafen
AXA Investment Managers Deutschland GmbH has sold an office property from a special
real estate fund.
'VD-Office' is part of the Rheinauhafen urban regeneration project of the
Rhineland city of Cologne
and has a total usable area of approx. 7,800 sq m for office and
restaurant use.
Two private investors have bought the property at 'Im Zollhafen 2-4'. The exclusive six-storey
property
was constructed in 2008 in a waterfront location close to the city centre between
the marina and the
Olympic Museum. Large glass facades and coloured fairfaced concrete
elements set the tone
of the building. The modern and transparent architecture is continued
in the interior of the building
with a special creation by the star designer, Philippe Starck.
