PRIME APARTMENTS EPPENDORF
OUR LATEST PROJECT
Project Overview
The project -Prime Apartments Eppendorf- is the development of a classic apartment building from the Wilhelminian era into a modern low-energy residential building with 12 exclusively furnished apartments in a privileged residential area in Hamburg.
Address: Eppendorf, Hamburg
Type of use: Residential building
Year of construction: 1904
Number of apartments: 12
Living space: 573 m2
Modernization: 2022 - 2025
Total volume: EUR 4.85 million
Project description
The residential building at Eppendorfer Weg 272 is part of an ensemble of buildings in Hamburg's Eppendorf district that was built in the Wilhelminian era and is now protected. The district is also described in the media as “Hamburg's little Notting Hill”.
The building has 5 full storeys and an attic storey, and the plot size is 581 m2. The Prime Apartments Eppendorf project involves the development of the property into a building with 12 new apartments with a total living space of 573 m2.
The plot was acquired for this purpose in 2016. Parallel to the design and approval planning, it was possible to achieve complete freedom of construction by means of termination agreements for the existing tenancies.
The planning initially provides for the gutting and new construction or renovation of key building components such as the foundation, rising masonry and floor slabs. In addition, the entire technical equipment will be replaced, an elevator will be installed, ten additional balconies will be added and the top floor will be newly built and converted for residential purposes.
The outdoor areas will be redesigned and landscaped. In addition, an accessible basement with individual storage rooms for the apartments will be built underground on the front part of the property.
​
The energy-efficient construction measures to achieve the KfW Efficiency House standard KfW 70 on the floors and KfW 40 in the attic include connection to the district heating network and the installation of a photovoltaic system on the roof. Smart home technology enables the user to, among other things 2 individual heating and door operation from anywhere. The low heating energy requirement, which meets the KfW Efficiency House standard, and the photovoltaic system for generating and storing electricity for self-supply will result in very low overall operating costs for future use.
The apartments each have 2 rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. Each apartment has garden access or two balconies, a balcony on the top floor and a panoramic skylight as well as a fully equipped kitchen. Other features such as underfloor heating in all rooms, wooden floorboards and new interior doors flush with the walls create a classic, modern ambience.
Fire insurance, building performance insurance and builder's liability insurance have been taken out for the building project.
The property is divided in the land register in accordance with WEG.

All functions can also be controlled via a mobile phone.
mobile phone. The user can make their own individual settings (lighting scenes, creation of time rules for lighting, heating times, etc.).
The basic configuration of the flat's delivery status is saved as a backup so that the delivery status of the flat configuration can be restored.
Realisation Status
The structural work on the residential building, including the construction of the entire roof structure with photovoltaic system, the application of thermal insulation and the installation of new windows as well as the basic installation of the necessary building services, was completed in July 2024.
The implementation planning for all key areas of the extension has been completed and all necessary building permits have been granted. Further trades such as the production and installation of the interior doors have been put out to tender and the construction work has been awarded in line with the progress of construction.
According to the current schedule, the entire construction project will be completed in Q2 2025.
Investment and Finance Overview
The total acquisition and construction costs amount to €4,851,000, covering a total area of 573 square meters, resulting in a cost of €8,466 per square meter. Following renovations, the net cold rent is €31 per square meter per month, generating a total rent of €17,660 per month. In 2032, the property is projected to sell for €7,520,000, yielding a return of €13,124 per square meter after the subdivision of the property.
The projected profit, calculated as the total sale price minus the total acquisition and construction costs, is €2,669,000.
The financing structure consists of €628,000 equity and a €542,000 grant from KfW. In addition, loans from the bank totaling €3,681,000 are used to achieve the total capital of €4,851,000.
Financing and Outflow of Funds
Once the land acquisition and project planning had been completed and all the necessary approvals had been obtained, the construction work began.
The original financing framework for the realisation of the measures, including the land acquisition with ancillary costs amounting to EUR 3.40 million, was provided by the financing bank in conjunction with a KfW development loan and equity contributed by the client.
The structural realisation of the measures for the basic refurbishment of the building resulted in higher costs for the necessary structural and static upgrading than assumed in the preliminary investigations.
The implementation of the upgrading measures in the area of the entire masonry and the reconstruction of all storey ceilings enabled an even more extensive modernisation of the building than initially planned.
This made it technically possible to install underfloor heating in all living areas and highly efficient soundproofing of the storey ceilings as well as the construction of floor-level shower baths, which meant a significant increase in the standard of fittings compared to the originally planned standard.
This, in conjunction with the installation of a lift and an overall exclusive structural and technical building fit-out as a smart home, opens up the prospect of positioning the property in a highly upscale market segment for flat flats with a higher rental price level.
The changed design and an unexpectedly high increase in construction prices in the years 2021 - 2023 will lead to an increase in the total investment volume to EUR 4.85 million.
An overview of the financing and outflow of funds is attached to this report.
