Angermann NRW is the only broker in Cologne permitted to use the bürosuche.de marketplace – the largest office space marketplace in NRW. For you, that means more visible supply in one place and a reach no other Cologne broker has through this portal.

We are regularly mandated as lead broker by owners and developers in Cologne. That means we know about space before it is advertised and can position you as a tenant early. A substantial share of Cologne's office supply is never listed online.

We publish our own half-yearly market reports for office, industrial & logistics and investment in Cologne – based on more than 400 transactions analysed per year, down to street level. Angermann NRW is a member of the Cologne gif broker data round, in which the relevant market participants contribute their take-up figures that form the official Cologne market statistics. Is the rent right? Our office market report gives a reliable answer.

Before you search, we calculate both routes: renewing at your current location versus relocating to new space – with market data, incentives and fit-out costs.

On request we represent your interests as a tenant exclusively – from the requirements profile and property comparison to negotiating term, incentives and fit-out.

Angermann NRW is owner-managed, active in the Cologne market since 2009 and part of the Angermann Group (founded 1953, Hamburg). You get local market knowledge with the reach of a nationwide advisory firm.

Ideally 12 to 16 months before your intended move-in date. As a rule of thumb from our practice: units under 500 sqm take 3 to 6 months, 500 to 2,000 sqm around 9 to 12 months, and large units over 2,000 sqm 12 to 24 months – including negotiation and fit-out.

No. A substantial share of Cologne's office supply is never advertised publicly but placed discreetly between owner and tenant. As the exclusive partner of bürosuche.de and lead broker for many owners, we see both sides of the market.

All relevant Cologne office locations – city centre, Rheinauhafen, MediaPark, Deutz, Mülheim and the right-bank office districts – as well as the Cologne region and NRW. From compact units of around 100 sqm to large floorplates and headquarters.

We clarify this transparently in the first meeting. Who pays the commission depends on whether we market a property on behalf of the owner or search and negotiate as your independent tenant representative.

Terms of 3, 5 or 10 years are common, and 15 years for large units. Renewal options, indexation and incentives such as rent-free periods or fit-out contributions are a matter of negotiation – exactly where our tenant representation comes in.

With a Stay-or-Move comparison: we set renewing at your current location against relocating – rent, incentives, fit-out and moving costs, space efficiency.
