Neue Mitte Ingelheim
Creating a new center
Ingelheim am Rhein is known for two things: the red wine grown there - after all, the town calls itself "the red wine town" - and the pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim, which shapes the townscape. What the district town has been lacking so far is an attractive centre that radiates beyond the town's borders, combined with a pleasant place to stay. On an area directly in the town centre, between the train station and Binger Strasse, the HBB, in partnership with the company J. Molitor from Ingelheim, built a retail and service centre that bears the telling name "Neue Mitte". The missing appeal was created here by integrating well-known names as anchor companies.
Unusually early lease signings
According to a design by the Stuttgart-based Schwarz architectural firm, the new area consists of four complexes for which tenants were found very early on. In addition to a REWE fresh market with around 3.000 m² of sales space, there is also a C&A Family Store and a Müller department store on two levels each, as well as a variety of other shops from fashion to services. The office space being created on the upper floor is fully rented to the district administrator. The center was already almost 90 percent rented when the groundbreaking ceremony took place. Visitors to the center can park both on the ground floor and in a spacious and inviting underground car park - a total of around 420 parking spaces are available for users of the new center of Ingelheim.
