Window to the world

With the 52HI, Art-Invest Real Estate has modernized a millennia-old tradition of commerce in a prime location. In Roman-era Cologne, what is now Hohe Straße 52 led to the central market and commercial hub. For retailers and tenants of the 52HI, this has always provided excellent conditions for attractive retail use, with top visibility and high foot traffic. The property opened in 2018 and has since offered approximately 3,500 m² of retail space behind a wraparound storefront.

52HI IN DETAIL

Window to the world

The completed building is striking even from the outside: The classic urban commercial building, featuring a base, a central section, and an attic floor, has been redesigned and now welcomes visitors with an impressive 65-meter-long glass facade. The light-filled architecture is effectively complemented by the eight-meter-high, display-case-like storefronts, ensuring high visibility for the retail spaces. With this redevelopment, the four-story building has been reopened for contemporary retail use in the heart of downtown Cologne.

On the most prominent corner

Cologne’s city center is known for its high-quality shopping: Schildergasse and Hohe Straße are among the busiest retail locations in Germany. Since late 2018, the 52HI has complemented the retail offering at this prominent corner location in the heart of downtown Cologne, providing approximately 3,500 m² of modern retail space. Its high visibility and heavy foot traffic make the location an attractive destination for retailers.
