A landmark complex on Freiburg's main shopping street with a mix of commercial and residential uses

The property at Kaiser-Joseph-Straße 271 forms the commercial heart of one of the strongest retail locations in southwestern Germany. Built in 1975, this mixed-use residential and commercial building is listed as a historic ensemble and combines retail and office space across seven stories with six apartments in the attic floors. The location is situated directly on the main tram route (lines 1, 3, 5) through downtown Freiburg and is within walking distance of Freiburg Cathedral and the Bertoldsbrunnen, a central transportation hub.

Since its acquisition by the Koehler Group in 2022, extensive work has been carried out, including the re-leasing of the office space on the upper floors and the renovation of the balconies. The anchor tenant on the ground floor is Kik Textilien. The annual net rent (excluding utilities) has increased significantly since the acquisition.
