luxury houses for sale North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

This portfolio presents a rare opportunity to acquire three immediately adjacent properties in the historic center of Aachen through an asset deal. The investment combines two established income-generating properties with an exceptional listed trophy asset, offering a unique blend of stable cash flow, heritage investment potential, and long-term value appreciation within a contiguous prime city-center location. The portfolio comprises approximately 1,500 sqm of residential, commercial, and ancillary space across three properties, together with a total of 29 garage parking spaces. Two fully leased investment properties already generate stable rental income and offer clear rental growth potential due to their currently moderate in-place rents. The portfolio is complemented by a Baroque listed building dating from the 17th century, situated on an exceptionally large plot for Aachen's Old Town and offering significant development opportunities through a heritage-compliant revitalization. From an investor's perspective, the portfolio offers an attractive risk-return profile: immediate income generation, medium- to long-term rental growth, tax optimization opportunities associated with listed buildings, and additional value creation potential through redevelopment. The immediate proximity of all three assets also enables efficient portfolio management and operational synergies. This investment is particularly suited to family offices, institutional investors, foundations, and private investors seeking sustainable capital preservation, high-quality underlying assets, and long-term wealth creation. Comparable portfolio offerings combining stabilized Core-Plus assets with a historic trophy property are exceptionally rare in the Aachen investment market.
