“Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony, is regarded as one of Germany’s
most dynamic secondary cities. It has seen robust and continuous rent
growth in recent years, particularly in city centre locations,” said

of Union Investment Institutional Property GmbH.
The prestigious office building is an architectural landmark on
Aegidientorplatz square, one of the best office locations in downtown
Hanover. Aegidientorplatz subway station is right outside the building,
with the main railway station just a five-minute journey
