Dr. Ralf Schneider, Group Head of Development at CA Immo: “The level of interest in our property developments in Zollhafen Mainz continues to be high. The REWE supermarket not only fits the local amenity concept of the new quarter, but also offers the neighbouring Mainz Neustadt a much wider range of shopping opportunities. Our strategy of creating a meaningful blend of uses in the Zollhafen and in our property products is being taken up by the market and proving worthwhile.”

The building complex in which the REWE supermarket will be opened is situated directly on the Rheinallee and adjoins the extended Nahestraße. One of the supermarket’s entrances will be on Rheinallee and the second entrance will face the planned marina. The sales area is on the ground floor and is on two levels. The net floor area leased by REWA amounts to approximately 3,760 m² (40,472 ft²). The supermarket will include a bakery and another store in addition to its own range. REWE will offer its customers 94 parking spaces in an underground car park.

Besides the supermarket, the residential and commercial building on Rheinallee in Mainz will in future accommodate 182 one to five bedroom apartments as well as a nursery catering for seven groups of children. The architecture was sourced through a competition and comes from the offices of Römer Partner Architektur in Cologne. A defining feature of the design, alongside the high quality clinker facade, is the spacious, partly split-level ground floor. The building has an underground car park with around 250 parking spaces for cars, which are partly accessible to the public. Alongside the construction of the building and the renting of the retail space, CA Immo is responsible for the nursery lease. The renting of the flats will be undertaken by Aberdeen.
