Record rents in Starnberg: underground parking becomes an expensive hotspot!

Record rents in Starnberg: underground parking becomes an expensive hotspot!

Starnberg is at the center of a tense real estate market, which is causing excitement, particularly in sought-after locations such as the “Seearkaden”. An underground parking space should be offered here from August 1, 2025 for an impressive 500 euros plus VAT, which would represent a new record for the region. Loud sueddeutsche.de This price would even exceed the high tariffs at Munich Airport.

Previously, the rent for parking spaces in Starnberg was between 75 and 85 euros per month. But Tatar Holding, the new owner, has reduced the price to between 150 and 200 euros after tenants protested against the exorbitant costs in a storm of outrage. The tenants had previously been informed by letter at the end of June that their existing contracts would be terminated on July 31st.

The situation of the underground car park

However, the “sea arcades” are anything but in perfect condition. The building complex has proven to be in great need of renovation as the second basement floor of the underground car park has been closed for several months. Currently only half of the total 160 parking spaces are usable. Users report rust, water accumulation and a musty smell, while water that penetrates has to be pumped out regularly. Several sealing attempts have so far been unsuccessful, which further complicates the situation. Residents also complain about drug dealing in the underground car park, which further highlights the unfortunate situation.

Tatar Holding is planning an energy upgrade and modernization of the facade, as well as a comprehensive renovation of the underground car park. The aim of these measures is to bring the vacant properties into a high-quality condition and at the same time create new living space. These plans were brought to the attention of both the mayor of Starnberg and the district office, although possible legal steps remain unclear.
