Luther advises GP Papenburg on sale to HIH Healthcare Fund

Leipzig, 28.09.2022 – GP Günter Papenburg AG has sold part of the "Neue Ortsmitte" neighbourhood development in Michendorf near Potsdam to Hamburg-based HIH Invest Real Estate as the first property for the open-ended special AIF "Vita Invest". The company again received comprehensive legal advice from the Leipzig Luther team.

Background

The project development comprises two separate four-storey buildings: a health centre of approx. 1,600 square metres and an administration building of just under 2,000 square metres that has already been built and rented by a local energy supplier. Completion of the health centre, which will be occupied by a local home nursing service as well as doctors' practices and therapeutic facilities, among others, is planned for the end of 2023.

Papenburg and Luther are a well-established team: most recently, the company relied on Luther's Leipzig office around Dr Thomas Gohrke for the sale of the Hallorenring project – a project development for senior living in Halle an der Saale.

Steffen Bockisch, Head of Project Development at GP Papenburg AG: "With this project we have once again proven that we are successful in the asset class "healthcare real estate". With its experience in real estate and healthcare, Luther is the ideal complement."
