Car park real estate is a specialist market. A generalist broker touches it once or twice a year – we have worked on nothing else since 2009. That difference decides whether your asset goes to the highest bidder or simply to the first one.
With an office building the lease determines the price. With a car park it is the operator relationship – and that is rarely as straightforward as the marketing brochure suggests.
Term, indexation, turnover participation and maintenance obligations drive the yield multiple. An expiring lease can depress value – or, negotiated properly before the sale, lift it.
Parking funds, infrastructure investors, operators and family offices are the realistic buyers. Few addresses, but they know exactly what they are looking for. Without direct access to them, any bidding process stays thin.
Part-ownership, ground leases, maintenance backlog, open litigation or weak operator credit lead institutional buyers to walk away immediately. Addressing these in advance keeps those buyers in the process.
Five transparent stages. You decide after each one whether to continue – no commitment to sell is required before stage three.
You describe the asset and the situation. We tell you frankly whether and for which buyer group it is marketable. Free of charge and without obligation.
1 callBased on turnover figures, the operator agreement and location data we produce a defensible value range – calculated, not estimated.
1–2 weeksAsset documentation, data room and investment memorandum. Weak points are addressed beforehand rather than uncovered mid-process.
3–5 weeksTargeted approach to suitable investors and operators in Germany and across the EU-27 – discreetly or as a structured bidding process.
4–10 weeksSupport through due diligence, purchase agreement negotiation and notarisation. We stay in the process until closing.
6–12 weeksThe details in the left-hand column are enough for a first assessment. Everything else only becomes relevant once you have decided to proceed.
What a sale looks like when several parties had already given up on it.
A sale that operators, tenants or competitors learn about too early becomes more expensive. Our rule: your asset only becomes visible in the market when you release it.
On request we put a mutual non-disclosure agreement in place before any substantive review. Prospective buyers also receive asset data only after signing an NDA.
We do not place an asset on portals or in newsletters before you have decided on the marketing route. On request the process stays entirely off-market.
The initial approach to potential buyers omits the owner and the exact address – with enough key figures to allow an assessment, but not an identification.
The initial call is free and without obligation. You will learn whether – and at what order of magnitude – your asset is currently marketable, even if the answer is occasionally that you are better off waiting.
