RheinReal becomes Angermann NRW – New Angermann location in Cologne
Cologne, 03.07.2024 – Angermann is continuing the targeted expansion of its property division in Germany. With the integration of the previous “bürosuche.de” partner RheinReal Immobilien GmbH and the change of name to Angermann NRW GmbH, the Angermann Group will now also be represented in North Rhine-Westphalia from 1 July 2024 through the new Cologne site, in addition to the existing branches in Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Hanover, Stuttgart and the “bürosuche” network.
“North Rhine-Westphalia is one of the most important office and logistics locations in Germany. The cities of Cologne and Düsseldorf are among the top 7 office markets. It is therefore a logical step for us to occupy this important sub-market in Germany from our Cologne office with an already established team. RheinReal is one of the leading brokers in the Cologne region and has been successfully present on the market since 2009 in the asset classes relevant to us, such as office, logistics and industry, and has a high level of investment expertise that will give new impetus to the sale of commercial property in NRW. The upcoming generational and shareholder change at RheinReal made the timing ideal for the partnership and the change of name to Angermann NRW GmbH,” says Dr Torsten Angermann FRICS, owner of the Angermann Group.
Generation change and change of managing partners
As part of the generational and shareholder change, RheinReal company co-founder Dirk Hindrichs is handing over responsibility for the company – as the previous managing partner – to RheinReal’s long-standing managers: Alexander Wunderle and Patrick Sohns. The management team will also be strengthened by Alexander Gruhler from 1 September 2024.
Alexander Wunderle, who will also continue to expand the investment business and office leasing, will assume the role of spokesperson for the new management team. Patrick Sohns will oversee the Logistics and Industry department for the North Rhine-Westphalia region and will manage further expansion projects. Alexander Gruhler has extensive expertise in sales, digitalisation and marketing, which he will use specifically for the growth and further development of Angermann NRW GmbH. He is responsible for the customer experience and the expansion of the corporate business.
Dirk Hindrichs, former Managing Director of RheinReal, explains: “The handover is a well-considered step that will enable the new generation to develop the company in a future-oriented manner. I am convinced that Alexander Wunderle and his management team will continue the success story beyond Cologne.” Dirk Hindrichs will be available to the team in future as a consultant with his network and expertise.
Utilisation of innovative resources: “hallensuche.de” & “bürosuche.de”
Angermann NRW GmbH will utilise the extensive assets of the Angermann Group to further drive its growth. These include innovative platforms such as “bürosuche.de” and “hallensuche.de”, which will make a significant contribution to digitalisation, increased reach and expansion in the property market.
