Price increase shocks tenants: 500 euros per parking space in Starnberg!

The Seearkaden in Starnberg has a new owner: Tatar Holding from Paderborn has taken over the popular shopping center and is already causing excitement among the tenants. With the takeover, a drastic rent increase for the underground parking spaces was announced: in the future, a proud 500 euros per month will be due for a parking space, while the previous rents were between 75 and 80 euros. This information has upset many tenants and is leading to uncertainty about their future in the center. Reported on these developments Mercury.

The previous rental agreements have already been terminated, which is further fueling the tenants' discontent. Many of them are now considering locating their businesses elsewhere, which is understandable given the increase in parking space prices. Mayor Patrick Janik is already listening to tenants' concerns and has been contacted by several affected people who want legal information. In order to examine the consequences of the rent increase, the city called in the district office The market reported.

Renovation needs and tenancies

The Seearkaden, built in the 1990s and now a central part of Starnberg, is not only a place for retail and restaurants, but also for numerous offices and practices. However, the building is in need of renovation. Moisture damage and mold growth have steadily worsened in recent years, so the new owner is now planning comprehensive renovation measures. Many tenants reported that they had been pointing out these deficiencies for a long time without receiving adequate support, as reported by The market and Mercury is determined.

Tenants are already seriously considering legal disputes. For example, some tenants, including the well-known Stangls, have invested over 500,000 euros in their bistro, which is now also affected by structural defects. R+V Versicherung, the former owner, has terminated the rental agreements without notice because they see a reduction in rent. This is fueling the concerns of tenants, who are not only faced with rising costs, but also with the uncertain survival of their businesses.

View of the parking lot on Ludwigstrasse

In order to provide some relief, a new parking lot on Ludwigstrasse with 28 spaces is planned for this year. Mayor Janik emphasizes that certain parking spaces are necessary under building regulations in order to reduce the increasing parking pressure in the city. Together with the developments on the real estate market, which according to a current study is confronted with ongoing challenges, it is clear that the situation in Starnberg could end up being precarious, and not just for tenants. The Property Post highlights that demand for high-quality locations remains in other cities, while vacancies are increasing in less sought-after areas.

How the situation in Starnberg will develop remains to be seen. The only thing that is certain is that both tenants and the city administration are required to find solutions as quickly as possible. The ongoing uncertainty not only puts a strain on business owners, but also affects the entire cityscape.
