DIR Deutsche Investment Retail GmbH has acquired an ESG-compliant new building in Pommersfelden in the Upper Franconian district of Bamberg, part of the Nuremberg metropolitan region, for the second local supply fund of Deutsche Investment Kapitalverwaltung AG. The unrivaled location has the central local supply function. The seller is ADMIRA Handels- und Gewerbe-Bau GmbH & Co. Verwaltungs KG.
The DISKA store on the approximately 4,600 square meter site with 69 parking spaces was completed in autumn 2024 and replaces the former Nah+Gut location, which provided local supplies for decades. The building is equipped with a PV system, charging infrastructure for cars and bicycles and the use of commercial refrigeration as an alternative form of heating.
The new high-quality asset in the latest store concept with a sales area of around 800 m² in Pommersfelden-Steppach offers a comprehensive food assortment. DISKA usually occupies customer-oriented locations with sales areas of 600 m² to 800 m² and offers a wide range of fresh products, food, beverages, drugstore and non-food items. EDEKA has signed a long-term 15-year lease contract plus renewal options.
The special AIF is currently in the investment phase. It is the third acquisition for the young fund product.
“With the acquisition of the DISKA store in Pommersfelden, we are strengthening our portfolio of the second special AIF “Deutsche Investment - Nahversorgung I”, which is subject to Art. 8 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, with an ESG-compliant retail asset. We are acquiring a high-quality property that was built to high ecological standards.” explains Matthias Kreil MRICS, Head of Transaction Management at DIR Deutsche Investment Retail GmbH.
