In April 2025, Trei Real Estate finalized the sale of the Fischerhof residential complex located in the Zollhafen district of Mainz. The property was acquired by a private investment fund managed by a professional real estate asset management firm. The transaction marks a key milestone in the ongoing redevelopment of the former harbor area into a high-quality urban living space.
About the Fischerhof Project
Fischerhof comprises four interconnected residential buildings designed in a modern architectural style. The development includes a total of 88 apartments with a combined residential area of approximately 6,500 square meters. The units range from one to six rooms, catering to a broad audience—from students and young professionals to families.
Apartment sizes vary from 31 to 130 square meters. Each unit features underfloor heating, parquet flooring, fitted kitchens, and spacious balconies or terraces. The buildings are equipped with elevators and an underground parking garage offering 72 parking spaces, including 20 charging stations for electric vehicles. A landscaped inner courtyard provides green space and relaxation areas for residents.
Financial Overview
The total investment in the Fischerhof project is estimated at around 40 million euros. The average apartment size is approximately 73 square meters. As of 2025, rental rates in Mainz for comparable properties range from 9.50 to 19 euros per square meter. This means monthly rents at Fischerhof can vary between 685 and 2480 euros, depending on the apartment’s size, layout, and floor.
While the purchase price of the complex has not been officially disclosed, market estimates suggest the deal could have exceeded 35 million euros based on the property’s size and location.
The Zollhafen District
Zollhafen is one of the most ambitious urban redevelopment projects in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The former industrial harbor is being transformed into a vibrant residential and commercial district along the Rhine River. Since 2017, construction has been underway to deliver modern housing, offices, retail spaces, cultural venues, and green public areas.
The area is projected to house more than 2,500 residents by 2030. Fischerhof is among the first completed developments in this district and sets a high standard for future projects.
Strategic Importance of the Deal
For Trei Real Estate, the sale of Fischerhof confirms the success of its strategy to acquire land, develop high-quality residential projects, and divest completed assets to institutional investors. A similar approach was used with the neighboring Lotsenhof project, sold in 2022.
For the new owner, a real estate investment fund, Fischerhof represents a long-term income-generating asset with solid rental demand and capital appreciation potential.
Benefits for Tenants and the Community
The apartments at Fischerhof meet high standards of energy efficiency, safety, and comfort. Units are rented fully finished and ready for immediate occupancy. With its close proximity to central Mainz and excellent transport links, Zollhafen is becoming a highly desirable residential location.
Residents benefit from a newly built, well-connected neighborhood that offers not only modern housing but also access to green areas, waterfront promenades, shops, and local amenities.
Conclusion
The sale of Fischerhof by Trei Real Estate is a strong example of a well-executed residential project successfully transitioning into the hands of a long-term investor. In a market increasingly focused on sustainability, functionality, and quality of life, such developments are in high demand.
Zollhafen continues to grow as one of Mainz’s most attractive districts for both living and investment, and Fischerhof stands out as a flagship project contributing to this transformation.
