An outstanding opportunity to acquire a prime, fully operational 4-star city and business hotel, encompassing both the substantial freehold commercial real estate and the operating business, situated in a central downtown and riverfront location within a thriving German state capital (approx. 240,000 residents).
The asset is strategically positioned in a rapidly growing industrial, technology, and logistics hub in central Germany, benefiting from extensive multimodal transport infrastructure (major motorways, rail networks, and inland waterways).
- Asking Price: €16,500,000 (Freehold Real Estate + Turnkey Operations)
- Brokerage Fee: 3.0% buyer commission plus statutory German VAT (19%), payable upon completion in Germany
- Plot & Usable Area: Freehold land plot of approx. 5,439 sq m with an overall usable area of approx. 17,110 sq m (approx. 15,400 sq m gross hotel area plus approx. 2,020 sq m of leased commercial space)
- OnSite Parking: Private underground garage providing 139 dedicated parking bays
- Facilities & Amenities: 11 flexible conference and seminar rooms, an inhouse restaurant with an adjoining winter garden/conservatory, and a wellness suite featuring an indoor swimming pool and sauna
- Asset Condition: Solid massive construction with 6 passenger elevators (built in 1970, fully corerenovated in 1994, and continuously maintained)
- Revenue & Financial Track Record: Resilient, profitable trading history supported by strong corporate/leisure demand and commercial leases; total turnover in 2024 exceeded €5.25M with a net profit of approximately 8% (Currently, the property is encumbered with a loan, but this will be paid off upon sale, so the actual profit will be between 89%)
Investment Structure & Tax Optimization Potential:
The acquisition can be structured via an asset or share deal. For international investors, establishing a German corporate structure (PropCo / OpCo model) unlocks distinct legal and fiscal advantages under German tax law:
- Potential exemption from local municipal trade tax on rental yields (lowering corporate income tax to an effective rate of approx. 15.8% via extended trade tax reduction)
- Substantial noncash writeoffs via statutory straightline building depreciation (AfA at 3.0% annually, yielding approx. €396,000 in deductible allowances per year)
- Taxefficient profit extraction and capital repatriation through arm'slength shareholder financing structures
Transaction Concierge for Foreign Investors:
Comprehensive support is available for international purchasers entering the German market (coordinating legal incorporation, local banking and compliance/AML protocols, notary execution, and cross-border tax advisory).
