Renting a shop in Heidelberg

What are the advantages of renting or leasing a retail space in Heidelberg?

Located directly on the Neckar River in the heart of Baden-Württemberg, the city of Heidelberg has undergone dynamic development in recent years. Its growth and excellent future prospects make it an attractive location for commercial properties and retail spaces. Heidelberg is popular both as a business hub and as a tourist destination, creating diverse opportunities for shop owners to succeed with their offerings.

The city’s infrastructure also ensures good accessibility across its various districts. Several motorway connections link Heidelberg with nearby cities such as Mannheim, Frankfurt am Main, and Karlsruhe. Areas around Bismarckplatz — the central public transportation hub in Heidelberg — as well as locations near Heidelberg’s Old Town, which draws large numbers of visitors, are particularly well suited for renting or leasing a shop in Heidelberg. You can also find excellent retail locations in Neuenheim and the Weststadt if you are looking to rent a shop in central Heidelberg.

Property prices in Heidelberg – development and outlook

Demand for housing in Heidelberg has steadily increased in recent years. This has also affected both purchase and rental prices. The average asking rent rose by 1.1% from 2019 to 2020, reaching €12.14 per m². At the same time, the low vacancy rate among residential buildings continues to influence pricing. Forecasts suggest that this trend will persist. It is expected that the population will grow by 2.4% by 2030, while the number of households is projected to increase by 1.8%.
