Gäubodenpark in Straubing: Modulus starts major renovation offensive!

Modulus Real Estate acquires Gäubodenpark in Straubing

In an exciting development for the city of Straubing, Bavaria, the Hamburg company Modulus Real Estate has taken over the Gäubodenpark retail park. The new owner plans to comprehensively renovate and expand the shopping center in order to secure local supplies and revitalize the city center. As the Immobilien Zeitung reports, the existing building will be renovated while the external facilities will be redesigned. The goal is clear: a large food market and new retail areas are to be built in the area of ​​the new shopping center.

The Gäubodenpark property has an impressive size of around 51,000 square meters. In addition, a development site of around 7,000 square meters will be developed, which will be available for commercial use. Modulus Real Estate has specialized in inner-city locations with development potential and sees a great opportunity in revitalizing the Gäubodenpark. Long-term contractual relationships between existing tenants support the planned measures, which are expected to increase the attractiveness of the location in the coming years. According to IT-Boltwise, the comprehensive renovation plans are intended not only to promote shopping in the city center, but also to improve the general attitude to life.

The situation in the retail real estate sector shows that retail parks were resistant to growing competition from online retail during the pandemic. According to an analysis by Savills, local shopping centers in particular are stable performers that generate reliable cash flows and are highly valued by investors. Against this background, the goal of Modulus Real Estate is to reposition the Gäubodenpark as a local supply center. The distinction between local supply centers and specialist retail centers plays a crucial role in risk assessment; after all, the two types face different challenges.

Modulus Real Estate's strategic approach could also benefit from the newly founded Retail PIN think tank. This platform has set itself the goal of developing new perspectives for retail locations and could therefore make a valuable contribution to the repositioning of the Gäubodenpark. With interactive panels and positioning papers, Retail PIN offers industry players the opportunity to exchange ideas and develop innovative approaches.

In conclusion, it can be said that the planned measures to renovate the Gäubodenpark not only enhance the region, but are also of great importance for the city of Straubing and its citizens. The first steps have already been taken and the city can hope for positive developments in retail. Modulus Real Estate has shown a good hand with this project and could therefore make a valuable contribution to the economic revitalization of the city center.
