Attractive central locations for renting a shop in Mannheim

In Mannheim’s grid-shaped city center, a number of highly sought-after areas offer excellent opportunities for renting or leasing a retail space. The centrally located Marktplatz, with its weekly market, draws additional visitors into the city, which also benefits nearby shops within walking distance. Just one block away lies Mannheim R1, home to appealing retail units and part of the pedestrian zone. Depending on your business type—such as a gift and souvenir shop or an art gallery—locations close to Mannheim’s popular tourist attractions may be ideal. Specialized bookstores, on the other hand, often find their audience near the University of Mannheim or in and around Mannheim’s main train station.

Renting retail space on the Planken or in the parallel streets

Suitable for virtually all sectors and a must-have for international retailers and chain stores are the Planken—Mannheim’s main shopping street within the city’s square grid. Together with Heidelberger Straße, the Planken form the pedestrian zone stretching all the way to the Water Tower. If your customers tend to arrive by car, Kunststraße or Fressgasse are advantageous alternatives in Mannheim’s city center. Here, shops can be reached directly for quick loading and unloading, while the Stadthaus N2 multi-storey car park provides ample parking for longer shopping trips.

Mannheim’s various shopping centres also offer prime retail units with flexible or divisible floor plans. One example is the modern “Q6 Q7” shopping complex near Lameygarten, which ensures local amenities for the new residential quarter. Our commercial real estate agents at Engel & Völkers Mannheim Commercial can also introduce you to many other attractive retail locations throughout Mannheim.
